PSA: Park your domains at a parking service for safe, quicker sales!

[Croc]

I've noticed a lot of MC-Market users don't park their domains properly and/or don't track views at all with either Google Analytics, Cloudflare, or a parking service. Heck, with some parking services, you can even get some free money just for having the domains parked there.

From Wikipedia...

Domain parking refers to the registration of an internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website. This may have been done with a view to reserving the domainname for future development, and to protect against the possibility of cybersquatting.

Pros

• Organic views are recorded and tracked
• You can potentially earn a little bit of money just for having the domain parked (Not all parking services pay money for ad views)
• Potential buyers can buy or make an offer directly from the parking page.
• Safe, secure sales through built-in escrow services

Cons

• Domains can often sit for a long time before finding the right buyer
• Will never be as good as actually using the domain for an actual business, but sometimes it is the only option

Recommendations

My personal pick for a parking service is undeveloped.com because it is free and has clean ad-free landing pages where the buyer can make an offer and see organic view stats right from the landing page. Undeveloped does not pay for views though.

Other options:
GoDaddy CashParking
Sedo
Moniker
1&1
Afternic

To sum up, domain parking gets more eyes on your unwanted domains by capturing organic views from anyone in the world, instead of just a small subset of Minecraft users through MCM. Remember, not everyone in the world has or wants an MC-Market account.

Because Mick won't sticky this thread, I posted it to the wiki even though nobody will ever see it...

Nobody reads the wiki though. That's why I moved my famous PEX tutorial off-site (permissionsexfordummies.com)[DOUBLEPOST=1518316308][/DOUBLEPOST]
