Here is an idea.
If you have a web page template that you use for your parked domain names, consider adding a "monitor this page" form or button to the template.
Why would you do this?
Well, many parked domains are under development. And some visitors might find the site while it is under construction, but would like to be later notified when the site has actually launched.
If you add a web page monitoring form to the domain parking template, then every body wins.
Well almost everybody... :rolleyes:
As a host, you win because the use of a single web page monitoring service reduces bandwidth. But the script has to be intelligent like ChangeDetect:

Your hosting customers win because they get instant, unexpected traffic when they finally launch the site. All without advertising.
How does this work?
Visitors who see the "under construction" sign with a "monitor this page" button will sign-up for the web page monitoring service. And when the site is finally launched, these previous visitors receive a notification email. They can now come back to revisit your hosting customer's recently launched site.
So your visitors win, because they get to know when the web site is finally launched.
Keep in mind that web page monitoring is not website monitoring. Also know that this service from ChangeDetect is absolutely FREE.
Getting started is as simple as a cut and paste of a few lines of code:

Let me know what you think... but be nice. This is my first post. :)
