Looking for a good webhost for monetizing parked domains

    I am a newbie to DP. Sorry, if this question has been answered a million times before.
    I recently registered a number of domains, which I would like to park for the time being and earn money on while I'm looking for a good webhost and start developing my websites. Can you recommend me a good host where I can monetize my parked domains? Preferably, one with good revenue and good flexibility in selecting keywords, content, etc. At the moment, I have several domains parked with GoDaddy, but I find their CashParking rather poor. Are there better ones?

    I think alot of people use Sedo. I think that is the name. Your better off making some simple sites with affiliate links. You will make more money with affiliate links and maybe some adsense ads.

    Yes, Sedo.com is a popular site for monetizing and selling domain names. I have about 20 domains there. I get a few clicks a month and haven't made any money to speak of. Perhaps my domains aren't popular enough.
    I am thinking about just monetizing some of the better names myself with a simple website and some articles. Once I get some decent traffic, I can put some adsense ads up.

    Good point, dcristo. I don't think my parked domains will get tons of traffic, but the fact is that until now my domains just sit there doing nothing but costing me money. I would like to change that, so my first goal is (obviously) to reach the break-even point. While searching for a good place for domain parking, I stumbled upon a recent thread (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=448247) with a bit of decent info and a website (http://www.domainloot.com/domainparking.html) with some basic information, but I am still looking for personal experiences from others and other than GoDaddy and Sedo.
