Park Your Domain and Generate Revenue

February 12, 2013 by

You can park your domain name after you purchase it until you decide what to do with it. Once you register a name you typically point it to the website you want to appear when someone types in that domain. Until you do that the domain needs to resolve to something. With most registrars it will point to a standard page which typically promotes their services.

Generate Revenue When the Domain is Parked
park domainsSome companies offer a service to let you potentially make money when the domain is parked. Instead of showing a page that promotes their services it will show advertisements. You receive a portion of this revenue. How much you actually make depends on how many people happen to visit the page. If it is brand new that will probably be next to none. However if you purchase a domain that has been used in the past then there many be some traffic to the site.

CashParking with GoDaddy
A few advertisements are placed or posted on these idle domains. A webpage appears to the visitor when they visit the domain and each click on the ads placed on it brings you revenue. This is the pay-per-click advertising model. The revenue sharing model is pre-fixed. There is a plan whereby you make 60% and a plan where you make 80% of the revenue generated. Both plans have a monthly fee, however you can monetize as many domains as you like. Once you get the plan you add them to your CashParking portfolio and the rest is taken care of for you.

You can also obtain a godaddy discount on domain registration, domain auctions and all their products.

Domain Names with Business Registration

January 5, 2013 by

You may be familiar with what is called the Whois service. This allows you to look up a domain name and determine who the registrant is. The registrant is the owner. Typically there is very little information but it does show the information you entered when you purchased the domain. When someone completes their domain registration they have to provide their details. This is your name, phone number, address and other contact information. If you wish you can obtain a private registration and make this information private. Godaddy offers a business registration service, here is what it offers.

Features and Benefits of GoDaddy Business Registration
A link is added to the whois information which allows viewers to learn even more about you. Instead of merely having the basic information you can add the following:

business registration information

  • a Logo,
  • links to your business/website,
  • images,
  • business hours, and
  • a map and more.

See the image to the right which shows additional information and how it appears in the business registration search results. Also below is an image which shows how you can add links to your listing along with images and text.

GoDaddy Background

Top Registrar and Hosting Company
GoDaddy was created by Bob Parsons in 1997. Originally a website name domain registrar and soon to be the top due to his amazing business acumen and advertising ability. Next they decided to conquer web hosting and provide not only the best but many options to allow those less familiar with the inner workings of hosting to easily setup and use hosting accounts.


Domains and Features
There are many different types of domains. Domain registrars allow you to register what are called top level domains. A top level means that it is the portion before the “.” , so in the case of this site the top level would be longest and the top level domain is longest.com. Another top level domain would be longest.net however one is registered as a .com and one as a .net. The .com or .net, the portion after the “.”, is known as the extension. In this example you have to register both separately. Popular domain extensions are of course the .COM, as well as, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, and a few others such as the latest .CO. However use one of the go daddy codes above regardless of the type of domain you may want to obtain.


Hosting Packages
There are more services than just registration of domains, such as web hosting packages. We list out the latest godaddy hosting coupon list to assure you the best possible discount. They have packages to assist you in creating a website quickly with templates and graphics you can drag and drop. Getting online has never been easier.


Consolidation Feature
Whether you are an individual or a corporation this feature is amazing. Let’s say you purchased 7 domains throughout a year, and now you have to watch every month to determine if you need to renew a domain. What a pain, and you don’t want to lose one. Therefore you simply choose what day and month of the year you would like to renew your domains. Choose to expire them all on the same day, or on specific days throughout the year to manage cash flow if you have a lot. Now tie this feature into the auto-renew below.


Auto Renew Feature
Auto renew makes your life even easier. First you decide with consolidation when to have them expire. Then you set up auto-renew and you do not have to do anything. Nothing at all, except watch to assure your credit card or paypal account has not expired. With auto-renew you choose your form of payment and set it to automatically bill you without having to watch, login and renew.

Once you obtain a large inventory of domains, and believe me it is easy to slowly buy more and more, you will want to make sure you renew them. There is no worse feeling than realizing you forgot to renew a domain and then someone else registered it. There is a process in place to try and help you remember. They send emails and there is a grace period but you still run the risk if you are not paying attention. So utilizing either the consolidation feature, or the auto-renew or both can assist greatly in assuring you do not forget.

GoDaddy Hosting and Features

Web hosting with GoDaddy is amazing, over the years they have added more and more features. But more importantly is ease of use. If you want to share pictures, create a social environment, or just start a blog with your own unique domain it’s easier than ever. In the past you would obtain a generic hosting account, but now with them you simply choose the account and then click a button to add picture sharing or a blog. Many other applications are available. It then sets it up for you and you are off and running.

GoDaddy SSL Certificates
An SSL Certificate is used by a website to let customers know that their private information such as passwords, credit card information, and other personal information, is kept secret. By showing the certificate information as well as a lock in the browser bar you can assure your visitors that shopping or registering with you is secure. Use an ssl coupon to obtain your SSL certificate. Gaining the visitors confidence is crucial.

Top Domain Sales 2012

December 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment

While there were many sales of domains in 2012 and the year is close to over but not yet done, here are the top sales. The list below includes just those sales of domains over $500,000. Domain investing can be a risky business but occasionally pays off big. Considering you can get a domain for a yearly fee around $10 and sometimes less, the payoffs below were substantial considering the initial investment.

Domain Sales over $500,000
investing-domainTopping the list is investing.com’s domain bought by Forexpros.com.
Investing.com $2,450,000
PersonalLoans.com $1,000,000
Saturn.pl $600,000
Jackpot $500,000
Challenge $500,000
FreeWebsite.com $500,000
WebHosting.co.uk $500,000

Selling Something You Never Owned
What I find most interesting is the fact that while you never truly own a domain you can still sell it. When you pay a yearly fee for a domain you merely have the right to point it at any server you like. As each domain is unique there can only be one with the right to point the domain. You are really only renting or leasing the domain. There are ways that a domain can be taken from you, the process is not easy but it is possible. Typically if a domain is taken from you it is due to a trademark dispute. However do not let that discourage you as investing in domains can be profitable.

Yearly Investment
If you are investing in domains you need to consider the fact that you have to pay a fee every year. To keep from losing the domain you need to pay the fee on time. Most registrars will allow you to setup a payment method to assure you do not lose the domains. You can also pay for multiple years at a time, many will allow up to 10 years so there is no excuse for losing a domain.

Domain Name Auctions

December 4, 2012 by

You can obtain a domain by registering a new one. By new one I mean a domain that has never been registered before. There are other options, such as purchasing a domain from someone that is no longer using it. Some individuals sell domains for a fixed price and others put them up for auction.

All about GoDaddy Auctions
GoDaddy Auctions is one place to be able to find the domain name of your choice. Buying a domain name could be a hassle if you are trying to deal directly with the domain owner. With the aid of Auctions, however, you can choose to bid on a domain name and if you win the transaction takes place through a third party which is GoDaddy. All you need to get started is to obtain a membership. The membership is valid for an entire year.

Create a Watch List
To begin with, adding the interesting domain names to one’s watch list is beneficial, as it allows one to compare the asking prices, number of bids, and ending time of all the selected domain names. Searching for domain names is easy. Also, it is now possible for you to choose to bid on the expired list of domain names as well.

The buyer is required to deposit renewal fee for a year along with the payment for the purchased domain. Not a huge expense.
