Parked domain check

Whether your domain is showing a registrar's parking page (ads, "this domain may be for sale") instead of your website.

Check this on your own domain now. It is free with a DomainGuard account and works on any domain. The check reads only what your domain publishes, and gives you a report you can send to whoever runs your website.

What we look at

We compare your homepage with the patterns of known domain-parking services.

Why it matters to your business

A parking page on a domain you use for business tells customers you are gone, and often shows ads for competitors. It usually means DNS points at the registrar's default instead of your host.

How to fix it

  1. Point the domain's A/CNAME records at your website host.
  2. If you do not use the domain, redirect it to your main site.

If you would rather not touch DNS or server settings yourself, forward this page and your report to whoever manages your website, or ask us to do it.
