Parked Pages on "live" domains: In response to the parked page opt in opt out question, I would like to clarify that all resellers have the option to turn on Parked Pages for live domains that are not being used for websites, blogs, etc. if they wish. The reseller is the only one that can turn on a parking page for their live domains. If you have not updated any live domains with parked pages then your live domains will not show parked pages (for more details please see RRC https://rrc.tucows.com/wholesale_services/domain_names/parked_pages/ ).
Parked Pages on Expired domains: At day -10 of TUCOWS domain life cycle we turn on an "expired domain parked page" for all domains (Remember you can customize the "expired domain header" in the RWI with your customer message IE: This domain Has expired please click here to renew) Tucows then reviews the traffic, parked page revenue and secondary market value over the next few weeks then makes a decision to renew or drop the domain at day -39/-40. We move/renew the domain into an internal account (Tucows Cost) and continue to share the revenue with the reseller. If the original end user comes back to renew the domain within the regular grace redemption period we move the name back as per the rescue process at a cost of $80.00. Tucows continues to manage the domains in an internal account at no renewal costs to the original reseller. Parked Page revenue also continues to be shared 50/50 as long as we own the domain. Please contact me off list if you have any further questions Thanks Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ken Schafer Sent: Sunday, December 10, 2006 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [domains-gen] Parked Pages Ad Unit Testing Hi all, I'll talk to folks when we're back in the office Monday morning but here's my quick assessment: 1. We shouldn't be testing anything that impacts your customers without you knowing about it. If that's the case it was our mistake. Sorry. 2. We should be respecting your wishes about your involvement in the Parked Pages Program. If you opted out you shouldn't have to do anything to "stay opted-out". My guess is this is either miscommunication on our part or a glitch in our processes. In either case, sorry for the confusion. I'll make sure we post an update to the list shortly.
