In recent years, domain parking seems to have gradually faded from the vision of domain name investors, and related discussions and attention have also decreased. However, the business model of domain parking has not completely died out, but has quietly undergone new changes in some areas. So if you also have a domain name and want to park it, what procedures do you need to know? If you don't want to park it, how can you cancel it?
1. Domain Parking Program
The domain parking program is a technical system provided by the domain parking service provider to automatically generate domain name web pages. The specific process is as follows.
·First, the user needs to register an account on the website of the domain parking service provider and add the domain name to be parked.
·Then, the service provider assigns a specific IP address to the user, and the user needs to go to the domain name registrar to point the DNS resolution of the domain name to the IP address.
·After completing the above settings, when the user visits the domain name, the domain parking program will display the corresponding advertising page according to the visited domain name. The page usually contains advertising sponsor links related to the domain name keywords, and the user's domain name will be displayed at the top of the page. If a visitor clicks on the advertising link, the domain name owner can obtain the corresponding advertising revenue.
2. Harm of domain parking
1. Impact on domain value and ranking:
1. Reduced weight: Search engines may regard parked pages as low-quality content, thereby reducing the ranking of domain names in search results, reducing the exposure and natural traffic of domain names, and long-term parking may negatively affect the weight and value of domain names.
Damage to brand image: If the content of the parked page does not match the original theme or brand image of the domain name, or the page is filled with a large number of low-quality, irrelevant advertisements, it will leave a bad impression on visitors and reduce their trust and recognition of the domain name and related brands.
2. Poor user experience: Parked pages are often used for advertising display as their main purpose. The content may be relatively simple, lacking in depth and value, and unable to meet the actual needs of users, resulting in poor user experience, which in turn affects the user's willingness to revisit the domain name.
3. Legal risks: If the advertising content or links displayed on the parking page involve infringement, illegal or illegal behavior, such as infringement of others' intellectual property rights, dissemination of false information, violation of the Advertising Law, etc., the domain name owner may face legal disputes and liability.
4. Increased security risks: Parked domain names may be more likely to become targets of hacker attacks due to the lack of actual website content and effective security protection measures, and may be used for malicious activities such as spreading malware and phishing, thereby bringing security risks to domain name owners and visitors.
III. Methods for canceling domain name parking
1. Cancel through a domain name registrar or service provider:
· Login account: Visit the official website of the domain name registrar or parking service provider, and log in to the domain name management console using the registered account.
· Find the domain parking settings: In the domain management interface, find the setting options or menus related to domain parking. You may usually find related function entrances such as "Domain Parking" or "DNS Resolution" under similar sections such as "Domain Management" and "My Domain".
· Cancel the parking operation: After entering the domain parking settings page, find the list of parked domain names, click the "Cancel Parking" button or similar operation options behind the corresponding domain name, and confirm the cancellation operation according to the system prompts.
· Wait for it to take effect: After canceling the parking, it usually takes a while, usually about 1 hour, and the specific time varies depending on the registrar and service provider. After waiting for the DNS resolution to take effect, the domain name will no longer point to the parking page, but will be restored to the previous state or other settings can be made again.
2. Modify DNS resolution:
· Get the original DNS information: If you know the correct DNS server address of the domain name before, you can go directly to the next step; if you are not sure, you can contact the domain name registrar to obtain the original DNS setting information.
·Log in to the domain name registrar interface: Log in to the domain name registrar's management console as in the first method above.
·Modify DNS resolution: Find the "DNS resolution" or "Domain name server" and other related setting options in the domain name management interface, change the DNS server address of the domain name to the original or correct DNS server address you want to set, save the settings and wait for the DNS resolution to take effect, then you can cancel the domain name parking.
