I want to setup my own domain name parking service where I park domain names for other people.

The problem is: I can't find any information, anywhere, on how to do this.

I want someone to be redirected to a page on my website whenever they enter in a person's domain name that has parked it with me. This page would be setup by the person who has parked their domain name, therefore for every domain name there would be a different page to be redirected to.

How could I go about doing this?

Would I have to get a separate IP address for every domain name that I parked? If so, this seems like it would be extremely expensive.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Create a zone file for the parked domain. Put the IP address of the domain name you are trying to park on top of.

1. Set up a server for the parking page (keep site on another host)

2. Install BIND

3. Set a script to add the domain to BIND

4. Tell ppl name servers

5. DONE!

To break into really simple terms, you set up a v-host for each domain, and have a page, like the Cobalt Raq have that is part of the skel structure. You allow something like 10k of space for each parked domain. You also don't give them ftp access or an e-mail addy. Just a simple page that is generated, you should include your company name and logo somewhere on that page as well so that the parking will drive traffic to your service.

There are actually a lot more issues to this, like maybe becoming a registrar, or having a deal with one so that parking can be done when people signup for new domains. If you would like to discuss that part of it just let me know.
