How domain parking is used
In an effort to clampdown on the possibility of cybersquatting being perpetrated, or simply to reserve a domain for future development, a registrar or reseller can employ the practice of domain parking. Registration under the exercise can be done even without the need for associating the domain with email or website functions.
In some instances, adverts are displayed on the domain as a way of monetising it, while the resellers or registrar can also put up a message informing anyone who accesses the domain of its status such as 'coming soon' or 'under construction'.
The monetization of a parked or minimally developed domain name is known as parked domain monetization, which involves displaying appropriate advertising content relative to interests predictions. Parked domain monetization can alternatively expired domains because domains formerly used as websites usually continue to enjoy inbound links generating considerable traffic.
Authoritative name servers of domains are designated for mapping domain names to IP addresses, the distributive nature of the mechanism helps in making the system fault tolerant and to eliminate the need for persistent consultation and updating through the central register.
The internet derives a lot from the DNS beyond the provision of keyword based redirection services in that it stores various types of information such as the mail servers rendering email for internet domains.
Furthermore, identifiers like the RFID tags, UPC Codes, intel characters could make use of the Domain Name System.
The internet protocol suite application layer entails the BGP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, SMTP, TLS/SSL, XMPP, Telnet, Megaco, SNMP, IRC among others, while the Transport layer includes TCP, UDP, DCCP, SCTP, RSVP, ECN, etc.
