Website 'Parking'

So, recently I've noticed that a few sites I frequent have been hit by something called 'GoDaddy.com's free parking services'. It seems really annoying, and I can't get around it to get onto the site that I want to visit.

[image loading]


Anyone has any idea what this 'parking' is, and is it even legal? Because it seems more like somebody hijacked the website. Also, is there any way to get around it?

This would typically mean that the site you want to visit no longer exists, and that the owner has either setup a parking service on it, or the domain expired and someone else bought it and set one up. Parking services are a way to utilize domains that you're not currently using for anything else (basically to make money off the random search hits they may receive). Yes, its legal. No, I doubt the site has been hijacked. And since the site is likely gone, there's no way to get around it.

So this has nothing to do with my computer being infected with any virus or anything? Because I found it rather odd that around 4 of the websites I frequented suddenly had this same messaging popping up.

I thought this was going to be a thread about domain speculating scumbags. Now I've got to repress all the anger that built up. damnit.

What tec27 said.

EDIT: Try installing a new browser and checking those sites? Could be that some shitware installed in ur browser is redirecting you there - tho im just speculating.

I would highly doubt it has anything to do with your computer. Its much more likely that whoever owns those sites just forgot to renew the domain registration or something.

Ah okay, thanks tec27 and warding

But just wondering, if the domain owner decides to renew his domain, then would this automatically disappear?

No, just jump on the bandwagon and blame all of your problems on "the economy" despite the fact that a) they preexisted the recession and b) you haven't actually felt any effects of the downturn yet.

Yeah, I can't believe "the economy" foreclosed my house that I could never afford in the first place, ran up my credit card debt with stupid shit I didn't need, and wasted all of my savings on a new ski-doo for the summer vacation I should have spent looking for a job.

Edit, seriousness: yes I know the recession is real and it has real consequences for many people, but doesn't anyone else feel like people are just bandying about "the economy" as an excuse for anything? Yesterday my boss used it to get rid of a salesman since we'd already bought her product from a competing company. Why not just explain that?? Why "the economy"?

Although this might really hurt people who are indeed truly suffering because of the economy, but yes what JWD said, they really shouldn't blame everything on the economy. But that itself deserves another thread for discussion

goDaddy is partnered with Google, so if you register a site with google website registration, Google creates a goDaddy account for you.

other than that, what was the question, oh - going to your frequent sites gets redirected to this 'goDaddy site'.

if you get a lot of redirects, it could be a virus, or it could be antivirus settings.
if you have a banner blocker or ad blocker in your antivirus, sometimes that redirects your site loads. so check that.

other than that, don't know.
in the end StarCraft begins.

Man, some douchebags ate out at the restaurant my ex worked at, and had like a $100+ bill, and then left NO tip, and left a note saying "recession, sorry." It was left for some other waitress, not my ex. I was pissed about it, not being even remotely effected by it, because that's such an incredible level of jackassery.
