information Top Topics: Is Parking Dead?; Which Registrar Is Most Secure?...

Spaceship Spaceship
Earlier this week, we published a poll asking whether two-step verification was used by domain investors. After a couple of days of votes, it looks like around 30% of domain investors haven't set up this added layer of security on their accounts. Should domain registrars make a greater effort to ensure two-step verification is used on accounts?

Here are this week's Top Topics.

Is Parking Dead?

Domain name parking used to be a lucrative way of earning regular income from your domains without having to any work at all. A highly-trafficked domain could earn its owner hundreds if not thousands of dollars per month.

However, in recent years, this figure has dropped dramatically. This discussion sees domain investors talk about current parking revenues and whether parking can still bring in regular income.

Which Registrar Is Most Secure?

Domain name security is something that should be taken seriously. As we saw with our mid-week poll, around two-thirds of domain investors have added an extra layer of security to their accounts. But which registrar is the most secure?

This has proven to be one of the hottest talking points this week, with many domainers giving their opinion on the safest registrars.

Which Is Your One Vanity Domain?

We all own domain names for a variety of reasons. Most of us own domains that we think will make a profit, but some names we own purely because we love them. This could be your own name as a domain, or it could be something that is very personal to you.

In this interesting discussion, investors share their favourite vanity names. Do you have a vanity domain?

Name a Domain You Dropped, Which Was Later Developed

Part of the responsibility of owning a portfolio of domain names is to see which domain names you should keep and which you should leave to expire. There are many strategies for choosing those names that you keep, but it's not always effective.

Have you ever dropped a domain name only to see that name registered and then later developed into a website? Some domainers have, and they've shared their stories here.

Who Is Your Target? Stop Buying Garbage!

Having recently completed the $150,000 sale of Hatred.com, domainer @uglydork published some advice for fellow investors. He recommends that before buying a domain name, you work out who is going to buy your domain when you ultimately look to sell.

Do you agree with this investor's advice? Have your say in the discussion!

Enom is terrible. One of the worst registrars in the industry after they were bought by Tucows. It seems they simply fired the support staff after buying enom. They don't offer any customer support anymore. Zero.

I’ve been waiting 8 weeks (!) to get a reply to my email to their CS (still no response) and 5 weeks to get a response to my ticket about the same issue, also no response. My ticket is still in β€œopen” status, but nobody has bothered to look at even though 5 weeks have passed.

Parking is dead for 85% of domainers. Your best bet is to develop your domain names. Depending on the DN.

Or just get a parking script that adds content to your site. Not trying to pimp my own domain for traffic but just look at fasthosting(.org) That's fully automated for the most part. I added the pics and the structure but it gets fresh content daily in certain parts of the site. Earns from adsense, ebay affiliates as well as amazon. I have a few domains on this script and my income went from 0 at parking companies to $2 this month so far. Not big but I don't get a lot of traffic either. If one had domains with a lot of traffic you could make money. I have a domain for a old business i owned and i've made $12 this month with it just by listing restaruant delivery related stuff. My same customers still visit my site in hopes i'm back up again and new customers still find the site via the fb page i never closed.
