Domain name registrar GoDaddy.com offers CashParking, a simple and flexible way for customers to gain revenue from their parked domain
names.

Parked pages are the Web sites displayed when the registrant of a domain name has not yet posted a developed site. These pages can contain links to content that would be relevant to someone visiting that domain name. The links direct visitors to the sites of advertisers who pay for exposure on parked pages on a per-click basis.

CashParking offers customers who park their domain names with GoDaddy.com a choice of three plans based on their budget and return expectations. Ranging from 60 percent with the $3.99-per-month basic plan to 80 percent with the premium plan, these revenue shares lead the industry.

CashParking enables domain name registrants to earn money on their parked domain name portfolios with the benefit of one-stop shopping. With GoDaddy.com, customers can do everything from start to finish – choose and purchase a domain name for $8.95 or less, put up a revenue-generating parked page and then use one of GoDaddy.com's feature-rich Web site builders to truly develop an online presence.

CashParking also includes features to enable customers to choose their parked page design and to specify the type of advertisements displayed. In addition, CashParking is integrated with the Domain Name AfterMarket™ allowing customers to automatically park certain domain names purchased at auction – immediately placing them in a position to generate revenue – and to participate in auctions exclusive to CashParking customers.

"Our CashParking customers can leverage the value of their domain name while they work with GoDaddy.com through the entire site creation process," said Bob Parsons, CEO and founder of The Go Daddy Group, Inc. "Go Daddy is putting its reputation in the domain name industry to work for our customers so CashParking can provide the highest revenue share payouts, making for quick and easy income potential for domain holders from their parked domain names."
