Domain parking refers to a process when you buy a domain name but don’t enter the domain name server (DNS) of your web hosting provider. The potential reasons for this could be that you wish to reserve your domain for future development or your site is under construction.

Domain parking can be broadly classified into two categories: (a) monetized and (b) non-monetized. Under monetized domain parking, advertisements or affiliate links are displayed to the visitors and the domain owner earns money. Under non-monetized domain parking, a ‘Coming Soon’ or an ‘Under Construction’ message on the landing page may or may not be displayed by your domain registrar.

We at LimeDomains, park your domain by default on our server and provide a placeholder website for your domain until you set up your own hosting account or sell that domain to a third party. When anyone types your domain name into a web browser, he/she is  directed to a default page provided by us.

Once your domain gets parked, a temporary Web page is displayed each time any netizen types in your domain name in his/her browser. Currently, we don’t offer to park domains registered through other domain name registrars. It’s only the domains that are registered through LimeDomains that are parked by default until you change the configuration of the same.

An economical way to secure your domain for future!

Domain parking with us is absolutely free of cost. However as long as your domain is parked with us, we display the ads. It may happen that in due course of time, you wish to display your content then you can host your website with our ‘Free Hosting Plan’ you got at the time of domain purchase on LimeDomains.
