Parking Expired domain

[Dinho80]

I noticed that you cannot use GoDaddy, name cheap and others like them to park successfully your expired domain especially when it's a one/two-word domain.
They will register it and told you it's not available unless you want to buy it at a ridicule premium amount.
Who has experienced this before?
And which company is best suited for parking expired domain.

Something isn't right. To park a domain you have to own it. Once you own it, godaddy or namecheap can't register it in any other name and then make it unavailable for you. Once you own it, you can park it with any registrar and just pay the yearly registration price, right?

Yes your are right, I really mean when trying to register the domain.

I made a mistake with my words, but there is no option to edit the content after publishing.
The right words is during registration of such domains GoDaddy plays dirty tricks.

I have registered quite a few through Namecheap, so I can vouch for them.
But yes, GoDaddy is definitely a place to avoid.

Yes, but I guess OP is after short domain names. Even namecheap has a 'premium' category. Some algorithm in the background will decide if the domain is premium or not (generally short domains, or straight vocabulary words are 'PREMIUM') and will price it accordingly. But I think there are no domain registrars where they won't count an extra for valuable domains.

Thanks, your response is quite helpful

Agree and I think that traffic also matters. If domain name has good traffic that most likely will be considered as premium domain name.

All registrars do that i.e. put a premium charge for what they consider to be a premium (in-demand) domain name. And one-two word domains are typically considered premium, especially if they're common English words. You also find that domain speculators often pick them up...and because of their spending power...will have more sway with the registrars. So us little people don't really stand a chance in getting the really prized names.

Only use namecheap for domains and they are good.
Also their hosting plan is great for small projects.

Most of the good expired one/two words domain names will be drop caught by experienced domainers who are closely watching all those names daily. If you are looking to register any good names, better try to use any drop catch service before someone else grab it

Check some other parked OG domains and find out which provider they're using for parking.

I am not sure if I understand your question correctly.
If you as a Domain owner fail to renew your domain - they will send your domain to public auction.
If you fail to renew until the grace period/redemption period - the domain will be awarded to the auction winner.

If you are talking about parking a domain that you currently own - look for parking companies like bodis, parkingcrew, sedo etc.

good domains no drop they are auctioned by proffesional domainers, we pay lot to get fast information from bots and own scripts about when something juicy can drop and just biding. If you mean expired domains like those from exp...do...n.t that's mostly trash not worth renew/baned on google or just very bad spam score.
