Some people who made money through domain names more than 10 years ago have a lot of domain names in their hands. In recent years, the situation is not good and they have not renewed them. Some of them stopped losses in time, and some of them did not renew them because they had too many domain names. Others can earn some advertising fees through domain name parking even if they have not sold them for the time being. So can domain name parking make money? What should those who have never done domain name parking do?
1. What is domain name parking
Domain name parking, also known as domain name suspension, refers to temporarily suspending a domain name without any website access or mail service operations. Generally, domain name parking is used to deactivate certain services of a domain name in order to perform website maintenance, revision, filing and other operations, or temporarily retain the domain name when the domain name is not needed. During the docking period, the resolution record of the domain name will be changed to point to a docking prompt page to inform visitors that the domain name is being docked.
2. Can domain name parking make money?
Domain name parking is a practice of pointing purchased unused domain names to advertising websites to obtain advertising revenue. Because domain name docking requires someone to click on the advertisement to generate income, and the income depends on the quality and click-through rate of the advertisement, it is not guaranteed that every domain name can make money. At the same time, some advertising alliances are also cautious about the behavior of domain name docking, because some domain name docking websites abuse advertisements and increase the click-through rate through certain means, resulting in the flooding of low-quality advertisements. Therefore, domain name docking is just a way to make money and needs to be considered carefully.
3. What are the benefits of domain name docking
Save maintenance costs: Domain name docking can avoid the need to maintain the website and reduce the cost of website maintenance.
Increase brand exposure: Domain name docking can provide more opportunities for brand exposure and popularity, especially for new entrepreneurial websites, so that more people can understand and visit their own brands.
Enhance website security: Since domain name docking is to point the domain name to another host, it can improve the security of the website and reduce the risk of being attacked by hackers.
Increase website traffic: Through domain name docking, you can increase the traffic source of the website and increase the website's visits and rankings.
Convenient management: Domain name docking can make website management more convenient, especially for the management of multiple websites, which can be managed in a unified manner, avoiding the tediousness of managing multiple websites.
4. How to dock a domain name
Domain name docking usually refers to pointing an unused domain name to an existing website so that users who visit the domain name can see the content of the website. Here are some steps:
Find a website or page to dock: The domain name you want to dock needs to point to a website or page in order for visitors to see the content. If you don’t have your own website or page yet, you can consider using some free or paid website services.
Get the IP address of the target website: You need to obtain the IP address of the target website to point the domain name to the website. You can query the IP address of the website through the ping command or online tools.
Change the domain name resolution record: Find your own domain name resolution record in the DNS management page, and change the IP address of the record to the IP address of the target website.
Wait for DNS resolution to take effect: DNS resolution takes a certain amount of time to take effect, usually several hours to a day. Before the resolution takes effect, accessing the domain name may result in an error page or inaccessibility.
Note:
Before changing the domain name resolution record, it is recommended to back up the original record to prevent errors.
If you are not sure how to change the domain name resolution record, you can contact the domain name registrar or DNS service provider for help.
