[roan006]

Developing a web site takes time, and like any business starts with a simple idea. Along with that idea, you have discovered that the ideal domain name is available. You know that it will be quite a few month before you can do anything, but you can't let the desired URL slip through your fingers.

Domain parking is an extremely inexpensive way to secure a domain for later development, redirection of Web traffic, or re-sale. Domain registrants, or sellers, commonly offer domain parking free with domain registration, as there is virtually no cost involved with domain parking.

A parked domain includes one simple page. If the site is intended for development, the page will indicate it is under construction or coming soon. Domain parking can be renewed annually, and there is no deadline as to when a site need be developed. You might find you don’t have time, or you might decide to let the domain expire at the end of the contract, typically one year. In this case, the only investment lost is a few dollars.
