A parked customer domain can sit outside the checks you run for live websites.

The Google report below makes that worth reviewing. For providers here, do you include parked domains in certificate monitoring, or only cover domains attached to an active hosting service?

How do you make that scope clear to customers?

The OP raises a very valuable point. As a regular user,
I've never thought about this. I always assumed if a domain isn't tied to an active website,
I don't need to worry about it. Let me ask the pros or providers here: if my domain is just parked and not pointed to the hosting, do hosting companies actually monitor its SSL certificate for clients? Or is it entirely the user's responsibility?
