    It's always scary to see gurus being hacked

    Well, any site in the world can be subject to a DDOS attack.

    Anyways, here is the official response right now from NameDrive:

    Well, Someone has envy on them because they posted this entry 24 hours ago for being named "Best Performing Parking Provider"

    They have a competitor with no ethics

    Well from experience, they have been the best performing for my parked sites (think I have over 30 sites there right now). It did not have to've been a comptetitor (highly unlikely) though an extortion by DDOS is something more plausible.

    is that it's not the end of it sometimes.... after the initial attack..for starters they come back.At parking panel same thing happened several times.They paid us anyway.we will see what name drive does.a incident like this could put a park company out of business .....if they pay..if they don't ...they risk customers leaving!(Do the math ...if 10,000 clicks hit a domain @1$ click and there are 100,000 domains parked?..even @.10 click...BIG $$$$$...if they bill for ads?.... advertizers will refuse to pay or drop them)...Sure ...it was nice to get paid for 100 clicks..but i had google problems month later.coincidence?????.these dos attacks piss people off you didn't intend to.I started getting strange emails from what i assume were webmasters complaining round about the attacks at parking panels(i never get domain emails) stuff like"are you fucking with me!!!"next thing i know google dropped domains .i am guessing that somehow spam complaints get filled with google and i think that google retailiates against parking company customers domains.that is mho based on some otherwise unexplainable stuff that happened to me recently.So 'when you're counting your attack money keep it in mind one man's recent experience

    Can someone explain to me what you guys are talking about? I'm confused. What is namesite, a domain registar or host? And they compensate you for what? Why is it a good place for parked domains?

    They are an authority domain parking company and they have a big stake in domain parking industry so definitely they are gurus

    On their blog they report the first priority was to get the parked pages up and they are still working on the main site:

    http://blog.namedrive.com/?p=78

    I applaud that priority!

    Hi somedomains have type-in or hits from old links if you don't have time to develop you park it with a parking company and get paid from the advertisements.This is the basic.
    for example check : http://www.billgates.com
    the page coming is a sample parking page and they are getting better and better.
