I Want it ALL. Landing pages with revenue, no commission, low or no monthly fee. control. txt records

So i'm trying to see if there are some other services i am unaware of out there. It seems to me every solution has holes.

I want to control and handle my own leads and not pay a commission for direct navigation inquiries.

And I want to monetize whatever traffic i do get.

I also need to sell names on third party marketplaces so I need to add txt records to names.

And in many cases i want an "artist rendering" of what the natural website would look like for the stated domain name.

And I want some control and not have to fit into someone elses thoughts on what should be on the page.

And if i find a good affiliate deal to promote, i want to put it on all my webpages with one click.

Plus i want my pages SSL and index on search engines. I dont need a promise of great SEO, just dont "not exist" and i dont want to advertise to the search engines im a parked page.

Anyone have something that comes close.

Thanks for the look and help me evaluate if you can.

you guys should have also read the comments to that nonsensical article. Its just a failed propaganda coming from a commercial certificates sellers being sour they can't control all of the market.

By the way, all domains parked at Dan and Epik use Lets Encrypt (of course).

I read that article when it came out Brad and I am thinking about moving away from Let's Encrypt. I agree with you not sure it's a good idea.

If you use cpanel with AutoSSL they should get signed by cpanel through comodo if I'm not mistaking. They also offer domain validated certificates for free.

Thanks, yeah when I moved to ssl my tech person said just use Let's Encrypt and that's they have been running on the site.

Yes, I guessed as much about both points.

For me I'm pretty much done managing all the technical stuff which I used to do and it wasn't fun. Now I'm focused on the buying and selling because that's way more important.

Then you should build your own. Personally I'd use PHP to dynamically generate the HTML for each domain. You can pull in the domain name, a custom description from a database, ect. And add Google Ad Sense for parking revenue. You can find an inexpensive hosting option for under $10 per month to build it on. And if you dont have the skills to build it yourself pay a one time fee to hire a developer.

Unfortunately, Let's Encrypt is a different matter because after reading this I'm not so sure it's a good idea...

I dont think that's really fair. First off the protocol Let's Encrypt created is open source so anyone can do free SSL certificates so there is fragmentation in free SSL too. Secondly it is not fair to say they dont have any skin in the game because they are backed by multiple large well known tech companies.

Yes, having a VPS is great but it isn't super cheap.

What a BS article! Not a single worthwhile argument to bash a free alternative, besides that "it is free, so no one would be responsible if something bad happens". We all know, how the companies with CEOs paid multimillion salaries never fail the safety of their clients, right?? That is why Let's Encrypt has had zero issues so far, while Targets, Equifaxes of this world regularly are in the middle of data breaches.

Let's Encrypt must be killing these guys to come up with such a shady tactics that apparently works with some...

Agree. I would even go as far as to say that if LetsEncrypt wouldn't have been rolled out Google would never have made their new TLDs SSL secured only. I'm calling it a milestone in the history of the internet.

By the way, from a technical standpoint you could just as well self sign your certificate. Browsers won't like it but it's just as secure.

Technically yes but given the browser will display a very overt error about it not being a trusted CA the average internet user would perceive it as less secure. Heck they probably wouldn't know what that's means and think the website's been hacked or something.

Thanks for all the great arguments in favor of Let's Encrypt.

I'll likely use it going forward with my real actual sites but for domain landing pages, I'll continue to outsource them. Why? Because I want to focus my efforts on what is best for me. I develop web apps and do domains on the side.

@Page Howe

Here is an idea! Invest $xxx,xxx+ to create such service for everyone and offer it for free.

That guy is a troll. If you read the comments there, people completely stripped him naked. Not only the argument is the weakest, it is deliberately wrong and confusing. And that is from the guy with all kinds of certificates.

An apparent troll-on-the-payroll...

They knew that their would be a backlash in the comments, but they also knew that lots of people don't read comments, and, sometimes, all you've got to do is seed the poison.

Lol, yeah that would definitely be the case :)

Anybody here 'old' enough to remember/have been using Cacert? Now that was fun :)

Ha maybe it's time for this question...

How many programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None, it's a hardware problem :)

I am using this setup. All free, including cdn for hosting with incredible fastest loading (it's just html).
forestry.io + Hugo (or another staticfile generator) + netlify for hosting..

I have raised this question a long time ago. But now I have agreed with them and have a mature view. We must open our name, we are the owners, we need the trading market, we need professional marketers, we need to let more people join the industry, which is profitable for everyone.IMO
And i use dan.com

I am trying to do something like this on DailyDeal dot com. Take a look at Cheapiest dot com. In fact it's the same site as DailyDeal dot com.

By using php includes, by changing the ads and links once, all the ads change on all my "bargain" domains.

I 301 into DailyDeal dot com to quickly take care of SSL. The idea is to build up DailyDeal dot com.

It takes about ten minutes to build a sub site once the initial site is complete, including writing all the articles, which have to be good and original.

On the sub sites, I use noindex,nofollow so that the articles only appear in Google the once.

Monetisation is exclusively through the Amazon program. @Page Howe the thing about that program is that you can't mix in links to other programs including Adsense willy-nilly.

Disadvantage -- the traffic has to be American. So UK traffic can't be lost. Now there is a way you can bring in UK traffic but you have to sign up to the Amazon.co.uk program. Again more work.

I am chatting with a broker about opening up as a service to others but it has to be a power domain that's ideally targeted.

Very nice @b2betrade -- I was wondering could you tell me how you are monitoring the progress of the front-end you created?

One solution for me, is to create my own landing pages and create a make offer/buy now link to Dan.
