Hi

how much money you got?

do you have a budget?


what's your goal?


got a hobby, area of personal interest...any specialized skills?





there is no "best" place to park, you'll have to try them all. as each will perform differently, per domain.



there is no best auction site.
getting the highest reserve possible, before putting your domain in auction is always the best route.

the most reliable auction sites or most trustworthy, most successful websites, that also have domain auctions is the question you should be asking.
those answers can be found in the numerous sales threads and posts on the forum.

as you'll be able to see what sites members are actually using vs. someone telling you what's best


i'd advise reading thru the "domain sales and domains wanted threads".

go back to 2002 if you can.

there are also sections for each of the main parking companies, so you can read the questions asked and the answers given for a variety issues.


after you've "read" thru the forum, post a list of specifics that you have trouble grasping.

Good Luck!

If you own domains and websites on the subjects you're interested in, you will enjoy developing them, you'll be able to post knowledgeable content and/or relevant products on the site, and if you know the market, you'll be able to sell it a lot easier.

So true! I know how to do only the most basic web design, but I built a site about the works of one of my favorite authors, and thanks to all the unique content, it now ranks #2 for his name on Google & Bing (behind only Wikipedia).

Getting a trickle of income from links to his books, but may figure out ways to make it more of a steady stream.

There is no such thing as 'best' place to sell or park domains.
Everything will depend on the quality of the domains. If they are good, people will want to buy them. Otherwise you will renew them year after year with no buyers in sight.
If you don't own strong domains you can still develop them. But it's not domaining really, it's webmastering and SEO.
Pretty much any domain can be developed. Selling is a different game.
