Make Money with Domain Tasting

Domain Tasting is when a domain is registered on probation for 5 days, and if this domain is worthwhile is acquired, but this is not bought, which is a very common action of domain speculators who put them in parking to generate income.

Grace Period (PGA) is a specific period of calendar days to register a domain for which you can cancel that registration and a refund is made by the registrar. When you register a domain through a registrar accredited by ICANN, the registrar may cancel the registration of the domain at any time within the next five calendar days and receive a full refund of registration fee. Testing domains (domain tasting) is a monetization practice in which the registrant used the grace period to test the profitability of the domains.

The grace period did not come from a political process of ICANN, but it was instituted by the records, with the approval of the Registrars and integrated into contracts for the record industry . biz, . com, . info, . name, . org, . net and . pro.

Its original purpose was to enable PGA Registrars recover the charges of the registering the domain name in case the domain names had been misspelled during the registration. According to publicly available information, most tests are made by a small proportion of registrars and most domains are immediately discarded.

The monthly report . org January 2007 shows that five registrars deleted during the PGA 1,773,910 (99.4%) of registered domains, leaving only 10,862 domains.

The combined report . com and . net January 2007 shows that 10 registrars who tested domains are responsible for removing 95% of all domains deleted from the records. com and. net. These recorders deleted 45,450,897 domain of a total of 47,824,131 domains deleted. There were four registrars who deleted 35,357,564 domains, which constitutes 74% of all terminations.

Some Internet users may perceive that their Internet use has been degraded due to the large volume of pages in parking encountered when doing searches. However, there are Internet users prefer to find parking pages that may contain relevant information or links that a message "page not found". Some large providers of Internet services and redirect popular browsers and non-proprietary names, so that even the removal of the domain testing practices, no change in the experiences of users, since they are already parked domains.

Another type of users are concerned that the tests reduce the number of domains available domains. For example, among those users are business owners who would use a domain to describe their activities and commercial operations, instead of income via advertising.

The ALAC notes that the costs of the records could increase due to operational load caused by the volume of transactions to add and delete names (add and drop). In contrast, evidence of domains could be the source of revenue of Registers and Registrars with which you can offset or exceed the costs of maintenance. It is also possible that a greater number of domains registered and renewed bring financial benefit to the Registries and Registrars.
