I am posting this again as it was removed before but I just read where Domain Zaar on the internet is being advertised as a stable program.
It is NOT and I have tried it on 3 servers with multiple programmers and different computers. It is a FACT it does not work.
There are NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS on this program, see anywhere on the internet and I am sick and tired of these people trying to rip off domain owners. These people threatened me with telling me to remove my posts and I would not.
There are many problems and they always blame it on the servers.
There is NO argument now is there - IT DOES NOT WORK
but if anyone here wants to buy a copy go ahead and go to their site and see for yourself at 149.00 but wait, then they are giving it away on ********* marketplace for 99.00
Buy at your own risk
This follows all rules for DNforum as to advising the community of a problem and a software that does not work.
On the contrary, this software does work and it works perfectly.
If you ever had a problem with an old version bought from previous owners, please contact us at support (at) domainzaar.com and we will upgrade you to the most recent version free of charge. Thank you.
Sincerely,
DomainZaar Support Team
*EDIT*:
Our Policy has changed. We now offer free upgrades to all customers who bought from us starting 2010 and forward. All prior customers can get upgrades for a heavily discounted price.

I agree with Doc24, I have had similar results. I have bought version 1 and version 2, and still ended up empty-handed. Support is not helpful, in fact they seem like they are bothered by requests for help. My experience only, but once I complained, I noticed redirects that shouldn't have been. Perhaps it was just a fluke. That, and I don't like having to dig out seller affiliate links in scripts I buy. Take care.

DZ is working Perfectly for me....It Rocks
Unfortunately for domainzaar I have to agree with doc24, I don't think he should be even allowed to pump his garbage on this forum. It causes google to ban you from adsense if they discover it's use. I know this because I had adsense on exactly two domains a wildly successful article publishing site (over 10k users posting articles daily) and on 1 domain with 9 addons all parked with domain zaars script. D-Park Pro Domain Parking Script, to top it all off version 2.0 was bugged in which hackers were able to change half of the sites by exploiting his open sourced php code and really messed up things for me in regards to what were 1st page rankings. When I requested a fix for it I was never given a reply. Then finally today a whole new episode develops causing me to come here and describe my experience.
When I bought the script for $100 I was promised a "lifetime of free updates" for that one time purchase price. Apparently some time recently "iggy" bought it and thinks when he bought the business he doesn't have to take on its liabilities along with the "assets", long story short he won't give me the updates I was promised, in fact he wants me to pay $400 more. This full domainzaar review should help other people pondering buying his garbage technology (yes I am writing this with keyword optimization in mind, Iggy is the kind of person that deserves it.)
Email log from Today Jan. 28, 2011
I get email from DomainZaar pumping version 3.0 (not much new from 2, just promises and tweaks), I read it in hopes that it fixed the HUGE security hole it had in 2.0 and could get the new version. I read in the SPAM email I get that the company changed hands and the new version costs me money. If Iggy is going to take the stance that he is not liable for what the company promised I am taking the stance that he is spamming me as we have no prior business relationship in his mind and he owes me nothing. (sorry Iggy, you don't get the asset of the mailing list when you are not taking on the liability.) Anyway back to the email log..
---------------------------------
Chris to DomainZaar
So you are reneging on your lifetime free updates? That is a shady way to sell software and then change your mind because the company changes hands.
---------------------------------
DomainZaar to Chris
Hi Chris,
This is certainly not a shady way to sell software. Please understand our perspective: we are investing thousands of dollars and countless programming hours into coding new features for our customers and putting new patches through bug testing, and we never received 1 cent from you. So it's not fair to us to send you our work free of charge. We only ask for a small fee...compare with our other product, where you need to pay $1000 for the open source version: http://www.smartscriptsolutions.com/domain-trader/.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Iggy
-----------------------------------
Hello Iggy,
The "small" fee you quote $100 is the same price I paid when I bought it in Jan 29, 2008 (just two years ago!, when I was promised "a lifetime of free updates")
When you buy a business you buy the liabilities along with the assets, it's not all one way.
What is fair is that you honor the business model.
Especially since that version was buggy and allowed hackers to modify half of my websites, you know how much aggravation that cost me?
You can keep your policy if you want, but in my opinion you should be giving this final version free and changing your policy along with it i.e. "your last free upgrade" then charge for it. Or at least give a free one year time limited trial version so I will know it isn't filled with bugs that hackers can bust into and wreck havok on my websites.
Sincerely,
Chris
--------------------------------
Hi Chris,
I'm sorry for your prior negative experience. D-Park Pro Platinum, which is what I assume you are referring to, is $399.95 retail, $199 on sale. Getting it for $100 is a great deal. This is how we've arrived at $100 - we know that customers who bought prior to 2010 generally paid around the price you paid, so we're subtracting that amount from the purchase price. This is fair to both you and us. The script you bought was "Domain Money Maker" - it was not even "D-Park Pro". Jan. 28 2008 is 3 years ago by the way, we're in 2011I do appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Iggy
----------------------------------------
Okay, changing the name of your software doesn't mean it is different, it is the same software with the same features. To top it all off we still have the problem with Google Adsense banning me as a result of using D-Park Pro. Given I would have overlooked this whole situation and review if Iggy were a reasonable person. Do NOT do business with Domainzaar and do not buy D-Park PRO.
What should you buy? Nothing, get wordpress, write one article on the home page, put dual google adsense boxes on the top and leave it at the default theme. You will make more revenue than this banware ever could provide and keep your seo and ranking.
I also want to mention that for Iggy to keep his stance on screwing the customers he should really change the "customer testimonials" which are right on his home page and the first one states
I quote:
"... Thanks for your great support for all the questions I had. I am looking forward to lifetime free updates
Sorry Michael, Iggy (Domainzaar, D-Park Pro) isn't going to provide that even though he likes to falsely advertise it on his homepage. I also know that after reading this, Igger will pull that from his testimonials to try and cover it all up. Too bad for him, I already printed a pdf of his home page and if he denies this, I will simply upload it and link here for everyone to see. So just leave your testimonial Iggy and man up. Do what is right and support the people that paid. If you have a grievance for your "hard work" it is with whomever you bought the company from, not the customers.

Wow I just read this post, funny how your tone in email is completely different. Seems you have a terrible habit of advertising one thing and doing another! i.e. your home page testimonial which contradicts your actions in email and your own testimonial on this forum which contradicts your actions in the email today.Originally Posted by domainzaar

I am going to respond to each of Chris's allegations below:
This post above was made 4 months ago, which is before our new policy took place.On the contrary, this software does work and it works perfectly.

This is a lie. In my reply to you, I told you that you can upgrade to the Gold version for only $50, or the Platinum for only $100, since you are a prior customer. Compare with $199 retail price of the Gold and $399 of the Platinum.When I bought the script for $100 I was promised a "lifetime of free updates" for that one time purchase price. Apparently some time recently "iggy" bought it and thinks when he bought the business he doesn't have to take on its liabilities along with the "assets", long story short he won't give me the updates I was promised, in fact he wants me to pay $400 more.
We have tons of customers using the script for Adsense without problems. Did you just put up ads with no content? If so, that's grounds for an Adsense ban and that would not be our fault. This would have happened whether you used Wordpress or any other software - if you don't have any content, and all you have is Adsense ads, Adsense can ban you. This is why we provide a million ways for you to add content to your domains, including our auto-updating RSS feeds which will now show auto-updating content by default as soon as you add your domains to the script, before you even modify them.Google Adsense banning me as a result of using D-Park Pro
I'll quote another customer who was a Beta tester for our v3.0:What should you buy? Nothing, get wordpress, write one article on the home page, put dual google adsense boxes on the top and leave it at the default theme. You will make more revenue than this banware ever could provide and keep your seo and ranking.
Let's look at the next thing you are accusing us of:Just started playing with the new version. I LOVE the extra templates in Classic and now I think Clean and Modern are lacking because of it. Especially CLEAN where no matter what you do you end up with the boring gray color on top. I think if you add more colors to the other formats it would fantastic. CLEAN is especially useful for people who want to use DomainZarr instead of WordPress since it allows for a lot more text. I actually use all three options now. But Clean most of all, since it it so much faster than creating and uploading a new word Press FTP everytime. You have a lot of markets you can use this software for thanks to its great modular design. If someone takes the time in CLEAN to adjust some of the fonts in the backend - the page comes out almost as nice as a Word Press 2.0 document with 1/5 the time spent creating the page... DomainZarr makes Word Press look like it is operating in slow motion. You get a person with 5 or more domains using wordpress to try domainzar and he will think he hit the lottery. I like it so much as a word press 2.0 replacement that I am thinking about becoming an affiliate for you. Even a person who has a very short blog has the option of using MODERN to fill up the page if he wants...
As a matter of fact, I just sent about 25 free upgrades to people who requested them after getting the email we just sent out maybe a few hours ago. I even say so in the email which you originally received, notifying you of the new version:"... Thanks for your great support for all the questions I had. I am looking forward to lifetime free updates " - Michael Stanley
Sorry Michael, Iggy (Domainzaar, D-Park Pro) isn't going to provide that even though he likes to falsely advertise it on his homepage. I also know that after reading this, Igger will pull that from his testimonials to try and cover it all up.
Now would you please start posting accurate information?if you purchased your D-Park Pro copy from us at any time during 2010 or 2011, or paid for an upgrade from Gold to Platinum, you will get a free upgrade to your respective version.
Finally, you said:
More than 20 new features were added to v3.0. Let's review what we said in our v3.0 release email:I get email from DomainZaar pumping version 3.0 (not much new from 2, just promises and tweaks)
1) Ability to add single domain using your own keyword. Keyword automatically goes to title, H1 tags, meta description, meta keywords, RSS feeds etc. Your domain will have a basic, unique set up as soon as it's added to the admin panel.
2) Ability to add multiple domains with the same keywords feature as above using a .txt file upload.
3) ASCII support - the special characters in your language will now display properly on the page.
4) Ability to create multiple pages for a given domain at the same time (create unlimited pages with unique keywords in seconds!)
5) Ability to park/unpark domains in cPanel right from D-Park Pro's admin panel. What a time saver!
6) Ability to change all color attributes of Google Adsense ads from within D-Park Pro admin panel (you don't even have to log in to your Adsense account!)
7) Sponsor Links module added to provide another medium for all of you to earn money from your domains, by selling links.
8) Ability to delete multiple domains from D-Park Pro at once.
9) Ability to check multiple domains at once for whether they are parked correctly.
10) Ability to preview templates from Settings/Wizzard before applying them to the live pages
11) Randomize template feature that chooses one of the included templates for you.
12) Ability to edit Meta Description and Meta Keywords tags for ALL of your pages individually.
13) Newly added pages no longer use a standard default page template which previously required heavy customization. Now they will take all of the modules that your home page has, at the time that you create the internal pages. Another terrific time saver!
14) New pages can be created in 3 places: Settings, Wizzard and Page Creator.
15) AJAX-based search box allows you to quickly find the domains inside your D-Park Pro admin panel. You now have the option to switch to a domain through a drop-down box or the new search box. New search has an auto-complete feature - as soon as you type any number of letters or numbers, it will show you the domains that you have in D-Park Pro admin panel that start with those letters/numbers. This makes managing thousands of domains extremely easy.
16) You now have the option of enabling or disabling D-Park Pro's search box (non-Google).
17) Captcha can now be disabled
18) Ability to make money by selling D-Park Pro through a footer link pointing to DomainZaar (you must register as an affiliate first, commission is set to 30% from each sale you refer).
19) Default parking template has been optimized for maximum Adsense earnings.
20) 3 new Adsense ad sizes added: 160x600, 728x90, 300x250.
21) Custom HTML module can now be named and saved for later use on ANY of your domains inside D-Park Pro. You can save unlimited custom HTML modules. This is another great time saver for you.
22) Fixed any bugs we could find that were present in v2.0b.
23) Added video tutorials with sound for every section of D-Park Pro v3.0. They can be accessed directly by logging inside your admin panel and going to each specific tab (i.e. Page Creator). You will see a link to each section's tutorial inside each section.
I even forgot to mention that you can now also put custom RSS feeds.
Thanks for your criticism, Chris, but please be more accurate in what you say next time. I have been nothing but polite to you in all of our email exchanges. I do, unfortunately, have to maintain an upgrade policy that we have implemented - as much as you are unhappy with it, this is the policy we now have. If you bought the script from us at any point in 2010 or 2011 and forward, you will get free lifetime upgrades. If you upgrade to the Gold version for $50 as I had offered to you, you will also get free lifetime upgrades, since you now would be a customer who bought from us, and not the prior owners. Thanks.
I am sorry about that, but we weren't subscribed to this thread and we can not check every single forum post and reply to it. When we start any forum threads ourselves, we make sure we receive email notifications. We have now subscribed to this thread to make sure you receive timely replies.DCG: It took 18 months for this response, hmmm.
There aren't any affiliate links in the script. We do include a small sentence in the footer that says that the page was created by us, as do all script makers. This can easily be removed if you have the open source Platinum version.That, and I don't like having to dig out seller affiliate links in scripts I buy
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask here or email us at support (at) domainzaar.com. We have now subscribed to this thread to make sure the readers receive accurate and timely replies.
Okay, you can keep making excuses for everything to flower up your software, doesn't stop people like me who experience the bad side of doing business with you or the former you from posting our experiences all over the internet. This thread is not the only complaint out there either. As per your request I will post your follow up email to me after I decided to make this all public.

DomainZaar to Chris
Chris,
The time stamp on that message is 4 months ago, before we put our policy in place.
In all honesty, I don't appreciate forum flaming like what you are doing, but I'll go ahead and take it to the forums if that is the route you want to take. Pretty childish if you ask me - simply because you are angry for not getting for free a script we worked so many hours on developing, when we never even received 1 red cent from you! I said it before and I'll say it again: DomainZaar was under different ownership prior to 2010. The new look of the website that you see was created in 2010 after we took over DZ. We honor what we say - all customers who bought from us get free lifetime upgrades. You didn't buy from us, so please don't expect free upgrades 3 years after buying a script from someone else. Go ahead, copy/paste my response to the forums - let the public decide who is honest here, and who isn't
Sincerely,
Iggy

"The time stamp on that message is 4 months ago, before we put our policy in place." What a line of BS... you stated it 4 months ago IN THIS THREAD, that makes it YOUR POLICY just by making the statement. You can spin everything however you want, bottom line is you go back on your word and a whole new batch of users that purchased this year will be complaining 1 year from now about how they got cheated on lifetime free updates. Maybe you will sell the company to your cousin and use that as grounds.. maybe that is what you did already and you are really just the original crook trying to cover his six as word is getting around the net on problems with your software. Show me one testimonial that is not on an affiliate sales page or your page that says the software works.

Anyway, I am officially done with this, other people will read here and you can make excuses over and over again for all I care.. they will see the dialog and decide for themselves. Good luck with your new enterprise.
I think you misunderstood what I said. The time stamp on that message was 4 months ago, which is before we put our new policy in place. At the time of that post, our old policy was that everyone could get an upgrade. However, after coming out with 4 upgrades since we took over DomainZaar, and making a script that was extremely buggy into the domain parking powerhouse that it currently is, we recently realized that it is fair if only the people who buy from us receive free upgrades. We still give very generous discounts to those customers who bought from prior owners."The time stamp on that message is 4 months ago, before we put our policy in place." What a line of BS... you stated it 4 months ago IN THIS THREAD, that makes it YOUR POLICY just by making the statement.

There is one right in this thread from someone who is very reputable here on NamePros. We have plenty of positive reviews all around the net. It is unfortunate that there are still reviews out there for the old version of the script, which I agree was extremely buggy when we took over DomainZaar. The current D-Park Pro v3.0 script isn't anything like the old script. We have been working on D-Park Pro almost non-stop for a year to get it to where it is now.Show me one testimonial that is not on an affiliate sales page or your page that says the software works.
Just imagine Iggy...if you had honored the original agreements in place when you took over DomainZaar, this would be a thread about what a great company you are. You have wasted more time here defending not wanting to honor the agreements that mlm, Doc24 and others had when they bought the script....and I am afraid it really does you no real good at all. Saved you a few upgrades I guess. You could have had a real fan but you chose a different route.
Iggy... you have your policies and it is your business and you are absolutely within your rights to conduct it any way you sees fit.
I just wouldn't consider you...but that's just me.
Let it go mlm and Doc24...but thanks for posting.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a battle of wits with unarmed opponents
I do appreciate your feedback jay. At the end of the day, my goal is to please the 99% of the customers who can be pleased. Unfortunately, there is always that 1% no matter what you do - this is the nature of any business. I try very, very hard to make sure each customer is happy and there are hundreds of people who will confirm that what I say is true. For instance, we install D-Park Pro absolutely free of charge whenever anyone has problems. We also give lifetime upgrades to customers who purchase from us. We answer any and all D-Park Pro related questions and even offer general SEO and business advice for free when someone asks. Add that to the value of the actual script, and you are getting quite a lot for your money. I would have offered the exact same support to Chris, had he chosen to upgrade.
Unfortunately, there just isn't any room for me to compromise on Chris's request to a free upgrade due to our policies.
Do you think any reasonable company would agree to something like "All prior customers get all free software ever made by DomainZaar regardless of who owns DomainZaar. This is a lifetime offer." Of course not - prior commitments of prior owners must be reasonable for the new owner to hold true to them, and believe me - I've done all I can to do that. I provided 3 free upgrades to prior customers but I realized that it's just not fair to invest so much time, money and programming hours and provide all of it for free to people who never bought anything from us. Not only that, but we also have to provide free installations and free support to those same customers. It just isn't fair - we should at least get something in return - and we ask for a payment of only $50 for the Gold upgrade if someone is pre 2010-2011+ customer. Of course as I stated earlier, customers who bought in 2010-2011+ get free lifetime upgrades to their respective version.
We do honor the commitment as applies to our customers, who purchased from us. We do offer lifetime upgrades for D-Park Pro even though we can be making a lot of money charging people for extra upgrades and only providing 3 months of upgrades for free.
I am not happy seeing an unhappy customer like Chris, but I've done all I can to compromise and I just don't have any more room left.
This attitude is embarrassing for your company. Maybe you saved a few upgrades but you are paying for it in other ways ten fold.
Nonetheless, I hope you guys can work it out.
Hi NameHoney,
Anyone who is considering D-Park Pro can clearly see what our policy is, and will not have any problems receiving free lifetime upgrades from us.
I don't think there is anything embarrassing in what I have said. Thank you for your comment
I am a relatively new domainer and I am quite frankly script illiterate. I am looking for a place to park my 100+ domain names in the hopes of making some money. I was looking at this program because I'm sick of GoDaddy gouging me at every turn and I need help and don't really have any friends that are into any of this so I have to research and wade through all the information and misinformation that's out here. I was excited to find this program but now I don't know. I was trying to research what people think about it that are not associated with DomainZaar but I'm more confused than ever. If I were to buy this program with Lifetime updates how do I know after reading all of the above, that you won't tell me in a couple years when I'm asking for updates that you need more money cuz you don't think it's fair that it's been so long etc., etc., etc.... I understand your point about it not being fair but you bought the company/ rights or whatever and you should be honoring the promises they made since you purchased it with that understanding in the beginning. That's called doing the right thing and doing what's right is usually pretty damned hard quite frankly. So my question still is: Is this program worth the money, does it work, can someone like me with limited experience use it and most importantly will you stand behind it and help me when I need help? I am not trying to aggravate this argument. I don't know either one of you. I just need help. Thank You, Sheila York (shendia)
Hi Sheila,
We have many satisfied customers who are using D-Park Pro. How much you will be able to make really depends on many factors, such as how good your domains are, how much traffic they get, what keywords you are trying to rank for organically and other factors. D-Park Pro can help you monetize your domains and develop content websites out of each. Traditional domain parking pages only have a home page filled with ads, no real content, and no internal pages. D-Park Pro puts you in full control of each of your domain - it is much more than a domain parking script.
We will provide free, lifetime upgrades to you. We are available via email and live chat to answer any of the questions you may have. We can also install the script for you free of charge if you request so. If you have any other questions, please do let us know. Thanks.
Iggy emailed me out of the blue a week ago and offered me the new script free of charge, without any request or demand to follow up here.. I feel it is important though to notify the forum of his gracious move.
Thank you for doing the right thing, and as you said in your email to me Iggy, holding no grudges.
Regards,
Chris
Hi Chris.
I noted your previous quite damning post ..
> It causes google to ban you from adsense if they discover it's use.
and your latest, much more concilatory followup.
Does this mean you no longer believe that use of the script will
cause Google to react with a ban ?
I'm seriously thinking about purchasing the script, but not if
Google has some type of script detector and auto ban in place.
Do you have proof of this assertion/belief ?
Or was it just anger at the time ?
BTW, I recall buying the Macromedia versions of Fireworks/Dreamweaver
only to find that when Adobe took them over there were no upgrade
prices available, just full purchases. Similar situation perhaps ?
Thanks.
