Do you ever enter a URL and land on some generic page with 101 search results and a title at the top declaring that this domain is parked here for free, courtesy of [registrar’s name]?

Congratulations, you have found a domain that has been purchased, but not developed into a website yet.

Whenever I work with a client to build a website, I make sure we secure the domain right up front. Then the question arises of what to do with that domain until the site is ready. Rather than letting the domain sit parked at the registrar’s, I will create a simple placeholder for the client. Even something as basic as business name, logo and contact information will serve my client far better than the URL parked at the registrar’s (which by the way is maybe generating search income for them).

Since I am developing the full website, I don’t charge for the basic placeholder. It’s simply something I do to help my clients.
