Domain Parking:     It is our opinion that this form of domain monetization is the one that is suffering the most in the industry.  The payout is controlled by domain parking companies that provide very little to zero transparency on the true payout.    The payouts are relatively small for the owner of the domain names but high for the domain parking company.  The Domains per Nameserver can be use to determine how many domains are parked at their servers. There are several domain parking companies you can choose from.  Here is a list or what we believe are currently the best ones out there:
