What is a parked domain?plus interface icon

A parked domain is a domain name that receives traffic without hosting a traditional website. Visitors may reach these domains through direct type-ins, search engine links, or backlinks from other websites. Instead of content, these domains display a 'parking page' filled with relevant advertisements. This allows domain owners to monetize the incoming traffic passively, generating revenue without active website management.

Is domain parking safe and legal?plus interface icon

Yes, parking domains is generally safe and legal. Owning and monetizing domain names through parking pages is a legitimate practice. However, it's important to ensure that your domains do not infringe on trademarks or intellectual property rights of others. If a domain is too similar to a registered brand, you may face legal actions such as a UDRP (Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy) proceeding. We recommend conducting thorough research to avoid potential infringement issues.
