In the world of the internet, every domain is like a piece of land in the city center. Even if it’s undeveloped, it still has value. This principle is the foundation of domain parking. In this article, we explain in simple terms what it is, who needs it and why, and most importantly — how you can earn money from it right now.

What Is Domain Parking?

Domain parking is a temporary “placeholder” for a website that has not yet been created or is currently unused. It is most often:

  • a page with advertisements;
  • a page with the message “Site under construction”;
  • or a redirect to another web resource.

This allows the domain owner to keep the address active and also use it to generate traffic or revenue.

On the RX-NAME platform, you can easily register a domain and use domain parking services right away.

Why Do People Park Domains?

Here are the most common reasons:

  • You haven’t built the website yet, but you bought the domain and want it to look active.
  • You’re investing in domain names and want to generate income from them even before selling.
  • You own a popular name that may receive traffic — for example, brand typos or common keywords.
  • You’re planning to scale, and buy domains in advance for different business areas (e.g., myshop.com, myshop.ua, myshop.store).
  • You don’t want to lose a domain with potential, even if you’re not ready to launch it.

What Does Domain Parking Look Like in Practice?

Example 1: Online Store

You bought the domain ecomarket.com.ua, but the website isn’t ready yet. You publish a “Coming Soon” page with a logo and a subscription form. This builds credibility and creates anticipation.

Example 2: Earning with Ads

You own the domain onlineshopping.ua. Visitors see ad banners when they land on it. You earn a few cents per click. If your domain gets even 1,000 visits a month — that’s passive income.

Example 3: Redirect

The domain bestshoes.com.ua redirects users to your main site shoesmarket.ua. This helps drive more traffic and retain potential customers.

How to Earn from Domain Parking?

Here are some real ways:

1. Advertising Networks

Connect your domain to an ad platform (like Sedo or ParkingCrew), and the system will show relevant ads to your visitors. You earn revenue from impressions or clicks.

2. Selling Traffic

Some domains get organic traffic — due to typos or popular phrases. This traffic can be sold on marketplaces or redirected to affiliate sites that pay per lead.

3. Adding Affiliate Links

Even one simple page with an affiliate link (e.g., to hosting or a product) can generate profit. This works especially well with niche domains.

4. Selling Domains

Parking is often a step before a domain sale. You keep the domain active, display a message like “This domain is for sale”, and wait for offers. Professional domain investors use this strategy daily.

With RX-NAME, you can easily manage your registered domains, set up redirects, DNS records, and parking pages.

How Much Can You Earn?

It depends on:

  • the domain’s niche;
  • the volume of traffic;
  • visitors’ language and location;
  • keyword popularity;
  • whether you use ads or affiliate programs.

Many investors earn from a few dollars to thousands per domain per year. For example:

  • fashiontrends.ua — earns $10–20/month from ads;
  • creditonline.com.ua — up to $100/month via affiliate programs;
  • carinsurance.com.ua — sold for $3,000 after 6 months of parking.

Which Domains Are Suitable for Parking?

  • Short and memorable (e.g., tours.ua, lawyer.com.ua);
  • Domains with popular keywords (buyonline, hotelbooking);
  • Geographic or local business names (lvivpizza.com, kyivtaxi.ua);
  • Typos or variants of brands (facebok.ua, amozon.com.ua);
  • Extensions like .com, .ua, .net, .shop, .org, .site.

Is It Difficult to Set Up?

Not at all. On RX-NAME, it’s done in just a few clicks through your personal account:

  1. Go to the “My Domains” section.
  2. Select the domain name you want to park.
  3. Enable parking or set a redirect.
  4. Add your content or connect an ad code.
