Domain Parking

In the Web hosting business, DNS parking is a service that the Web host will offer to its clients as a way of securing a domain name for future use. The Web host registers the domain name with the InterNIC and "parks" the domain name on a server until it is ready to be made active. By doing this, the Web host ensures the availability of the domain name for the client's future use so that another individual or company cannot register that same domain name.

Thank You for the sweet explanation. I've used these services in the past but didn't really understand how it works.

Thank You

No problem, I thought it might be useful...

My advice is that if you already have hosting space, then point your domain up there and put up your own page with a coming soon.

You can put in your own ads etc. Make some money directly ;)

I agree with Ajay here...

Since your site is alive now, thus it's wise to put up some ads to earn some extra money, so you can use it to pay for the hosting company and so on...
