Multi-Million Dollar Domain Portfolio Owner Says, “Don’t Bother” with Domain Parking
PALM BEACH – A multi-million-dollar domain portfolio owner has given some personal advice on domain name parking, and it’s not good. If you had not yet heard, Brent Oxley, the guy behind the creation of one of the largest and most successful [in my opinion] web hosting providers, HostGator.com, has recently put his entire and very extensive domain portfolio up for sale using the platform, Efty.com.
What I found most interesting, more than his unique and super high-quality list of domains, is his personal experience with the domain monetization process through domain name parking; according to Oxley, it’s just not worth it anymore, saying that even with his extensive list of over 100 super high quality domain names, his earnings were just $28 a day.
Where does that leave the average, or even slightly above average domainer when it comes to domain name parking?
This isn’t just any advice.
This is the advice of a guy who knows premium domain names; a guy who built a massive Internet company and sold it for $300,000,000 US; a guy who holds a domain name portfolio which is likely worth well in excess of the conservative $25,000,000 range suggested.

Maybe he can build a parking company that actually works on behalf of domain owners to get more revenues from Google and also cuts out the middlemen who are pocketing the other half of domainers’ revenues
Good idea. Someone should suggest it to him. He would already have parking company experience from HG.
How exactly would they “get more revenues out of Google”?
Never been a big fan of parking domains. prefer to build the domain out and turn it into a business. When you consider that a parked page is under google own terms does not constitute a website your parked page really has no chance returing a good revenue.
With all latest wordpress drag and drop templates people should just build own sites and do own deals.
Well, it’s good to know my portfolio earns more than his in parking revenue. But he is right. Parking is way down. I now get about 1/4 of what I used to get from Frank’s parking platform when it first came out.
I’d say it’s pretty much the same with ad revenue. Most publishers are running about twice as many ads as they did in the past for about a third or half the revenue. In my opinion this is due to clawback from clicks deemed invalid or fraudulent, ad blockers and declines in traffic.
Says the guy that ran the hosting company with one of the WORST reputations in the hosting industry for well over a decade.
From what I read from Brent, one of the ways he believes his company grew was through customer service. I’m not sure if that is true but that is what he believes. I remember HostGator had a generous an very easy to use affiliate program which was probably a big contributor but I do not know. What I do know is that I used there service for a few years and it was a very inexpensive solution and you need to keep in mind that you get what you pay for with most services. I left HostGator many years ago and moved all my important sites to Rackspace. That was the end of my hosting troubles, but the cost was 9900% more.
I also use Rackspace. While they are expensive they are not as good as they once were. I now use Linode a lot.
Having great domains does not mean you will earn great revenue. It does not work that way. If it did, it would be simple to make great money parking. You have to know what to buy, that’s the trick, and it takes lots of experience to know how to do it.
I still make XXX per day on some single domains and XX on a larger group of other domains. I don’t know what this guy is talking about. I think he probably knows next to nothing about domains and parking.
He should stick to what he knows about instead of talking what he does not know about.
