Website parking

[Wilmslow]

I want to create and park a website for future use for my company name before it gets snapped up by someone else. Heck, may even go ahead and get it up and running.

Any advice on this?

Looked at Zen - seems pricey, offers Linux or Windows. Should I care which one? Ie, worth paying double for Windows?

This creating a company business is starting to get tricky.....

GoDaddy sells cheap domains and I am pretty certain they park them for free - I use them myself.

Looked at GoDaddy - looks confusing. Says it includes email, then charges for this as an extra.

Kind of thinking about Zen to be honest - costs a lot more, but I feel the website looks more profesisonal.

Basically, I need to create the website and host from scratch., one email address would suffice (would go for info@****.co.uk) - any advice welcome!

Hosting site is another matter from parking - GoDaddy is bad for hosting, but they have free parking if you need to register domain name to keep it until the point when you need to host it.

I think you were just confused about difference between site parking and hosting - you need hosting, not parking, so GoDaddy is only good to buy domain, but host it elsewhere.

Ok.... Where is good for hosting? Am I as well to buy and host at the same time? Also, what about designing the website? I am not a web developer, so want an easy to buy, host and design deal.

Free hosting - I use freehosita, does what it says on the tin.

In terms of site development I am sure others will come and quote you for a nice site

I don't get much spam to my info address at all, around 4 emails a month actually:


1 from a recruitment consultant
2 from companies in india asking if I want to be on their business lists
1 from the Times offfering me a 'fantastic deal' on advertising
