Today I noticed that GoDaddy has started paid domain parking service. It seems like just other parking services like SEDO etc., the only thing that is different is that they charge a fee for parking the domain on specially crafted pages which are supposed to generate the revenue for the domain owner. Here is the official godaddy product page: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/park/landing.asp I have a comparetively small parked domain portofolio(around 60-70 parked domains), and I was looking for a change in the way I am using these domains. My questions are: has anyone used their CashParking service yet? If yes, is it worth the fixed fee?
I really respect GoDaddy as a registar. They aren't the cheapest but they have a really good and working system. They should furnish lubricant with this paid parking plan.
I'm with godaddy, Their domain registration service is second to none. But their hosting has a lot to be desired. On the subject of parked pages. A bad idea. They look like scammers/spam sites. Probably wont earn you as much as a proper site with adsense or alternative.
As stated above, GoDaddy is not the cheaper registrar, its control panel is not user-friendly, support service is terrible and mostly limited to phone calls. Add to these features that they charge for everything, almost for breathing, and you will round a not so nice picture of the overall service. Back to topic, GoDaddy has the only Cash for Parking program in which YOU PAY, not them. Most parking programs pay you, but with GoDaddy you need to pay for parking a domain. Starting "as low as $3.99" per month, there is not guarantee about how much you may earn, but what really matters is that they make money, not you. I have never heard of any other parking program that charges domain owners for participating.
Godaddy has great customer service and some good tools. I think parked domains in general are very limited.
I would use parked.com or sedo.com if you are going to park your domains. GoDaddy is not the best for that in my opinion....
