Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Donny]

I was waiting for that one Acroplex.

RCK - Maybe we don't just block on ip alone... Send me your ip via pm and I'll take a look.

If you own even 1 domain it shouldn't be a problem to receive email to that domain. I think you can change your email after you've signed up, iirc.

Ok! so after I sign in I can change. Thats good news. Will use one of these website's email

Thanx!

parking revenue

I have about thirty domain names parked at sedo but revenue generation per click is not only low, it is very slow. I am not sure if I am using the right keywords or have another problem specific to Sedo. I have domains such as

cater weddings (caterweddings.com)
cater weddings (caterweddings.co.uk)
cater weddings (caterweddings.info)

poker (RoyalPennyPoker.com) however is the only one that is doing reasonably well. Any advice on names such as above..thanks

I don't think so.
I tried to change my email address to @gmail but it didn't work.

Our rules are very simple, if you own a nice number of domains, you should not have to use a free email address. Even gmail allows you to forward your domain email to them, that's all we are asking for, a real email address. You can use one from your isp or wherever.

I thought I saw a couple of months ago that you could change your email to a free account after you signed up. Is that not so?

I think you are mistaken about "having to use a free email address". For most people it's a preference, not a need. Google et al provide much better services than you can get from a, ahem, "free" pop3/ forwarding email account provided by your host/registrar.

Donny: I have finally registered with parked by getting another email, but believe me, I find yahoo to be a way better than others (I have it for 11 years now and thats what I use for everything....one place to manage it all and you check from anywhere you want).

I also have gmail for the same reasons.

I generally don't trust email account with small providers.

May be you should re-think your email policy (I understand your concerns though).....may be atleast let us change the account email to yahoo/gmail after the account opening.

Thanks.

that was enough to put me off your company when i tried to sign up. i've got a moderate 6-figure portfolio, but i've no idea how to make an email address from my domains or forward it to my yahoo account. as far as i know i don't have an email address from my isp and if i did i would have no idea how to access it. seems like a rather pointless rule to me *shrug*

 

[Donny]

At last count 87% of all accounts that were created with free email addresses have been terminated for fraud. This also is about 65% of all fraud we have caught in our system. Maybe one day we will all free email accounts in again, but as of right now we have not.

Well, that sounds like a good enough reason

Might I add...ALWAYS on time!!!

 

[slim]

I have almost 200 domains with pr2 and pr1 included i but parked decline my application

 

[staffjam]

Parked sounds like a great site.
Does anyone know how it compares to whypark.com - as i have heard some amazing reviews about what they offer. And it seems to be a toss up between the two.

 

[TheWatcher]

keep in mind that you will pay $99 for using whypark service as to compare this to parked no fee involve.

We also use the same approach of whypark, see example of www.hummer3.org. We are still working on some other template for our portfolio. And if you want to a dry run for your domain for $2/mo, send me pm.
