I currently park a domain which was once a used by someone else. Most of the traffic comes as referral from links in other websites. The issue I am facing is that, most of the traffic is through HTTPS which I guess is not served by the domain parking company, in my case bodis. Is there any way to make sure that ads are displayed on traffic with https on the parked domain? If bodis doesn't, is there any other services allow traffic with HTTPS?

Thank you.

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
HTTPS works via SSL certficate which is bound to the domain.
So you may forget about this traffic.

Or get SSL certificate for your domain and then forward this traffic to some Affiliate program...

Or 301-redirect/CNAME to another parked domain.

Ops, you must be right. I forgot it is parked and there are TOS.
I found an old post https://www.namepros.com/threads/any-parking-company-allowing-artificial-traffic.769469/
where matt_bodis said
We actually do allow this (Bodis.com), however we didn't at one point and that TOS was never updated.

I guess we keep that in there to protect ourselves in case any major issue arises out of forwarding traffic to our parked pages.

There was a time when this type of traffic was not allowed by upstream providers, but now there is no definition of what is and isn't allowed so long that it converts / doesn't get charged back.
The post is too old, maybe need confirmation.

ALL forwardings are prohibited by Google Terms.
A few years already.

Each domain must receive only its own traffic.
