Domain parking is the practice of registering a domain name (that is, the name you type into the browser to get to a wesbite) just to own that domain name, without actually creating the site.

For example, if at some point I thought someone may some day make a company that sells pizzas made of shoes i ,could go to a registrar like goDaddy, namecheap, or a place like that and buy the domain http://www.PizzaMadeOfShoes.com or http://www.TastyShoePizza.com or anything like that. I would need to pay a fee every year I wanted to keep that. But, if some day someone really wants that same domain name, they need to buy it from me, and I can charge them more than I paid for it.

Their is either free domain parking or paid domain parking where you get money for someone clicking on the links that the domain hosting company puts on the website.

if you dont use domain parking then you use webpages to display your content otherwise when someone goes to the domain name you purchased then they will get an error saying the page doesnt exist.

Judging from your question, I believe you want to know where you can re-register your domains inexpensively. I don't know of any registration companies that charge under $5, but 1and1.com has registration for $6.99. That's about the cheapest you're going to find.

Now if you're really looking for parking, that's free. You can park your domain at Sedo.com, and you can earn money when people click on the ads. You'll simply have to point your domains to Sedo, and they'll set-up the page for you.

But in order to use Sedo's domain parking, you'll still need to have the domains registered elsewhere. Parking is just for making money.

Good luck!

Domain parking is an advertising practice used primarily by domain name registrars and internet advertising publishers to monetize type-in traffic visiting an under-developed domain name. The domain name will usually resolve to a page containing relevant advertising listings and links. These links will be targeted to the predicted interests of the visitor and may change dynamically based on the results that visitors click on. Usually the domain owner is paid based on how many links have been visited (e.g. pay per click) and on how beneficial those visits have been. The keywords for any given domain name provide clues as to the intent of the visitor before arriving.

domain forwarding, is a technique on the World Wide Web for making a web page available under many URLs.
