This guide is for general orientation only. The full, legally binding details are available in our policy, which you can review under Services > Domain Parking in your dashboard before confirming the service.
✅ Allowed and supported traffic
Authorized traffic sources
We support only natural traffic for domain parking that is generated by genuine human users and lawful domain use:
-
Type-in traffic generated by users manually entering the domain name into the browser address bar.
-
Direct navigation traffic that reaches the domain naturally, without forced redirects, automation, or manipulation.
-
Residual traffic from a previously active website, provided that the former use was lawful and did not infringe any third-party rights.
-
Traffic that is entirely human-generated and based on genuine user behavior and intent.
Domain eligibility and compliance
Only domains may be used for the Domain Parking Service if their registration, use, and monetization are legally permissible.
In particular:
-
Domains must not infringe trademark, brand, name, copyright, or personality rights.
-
All applicable laws and regulations must be observed.
-
ICANN, registry, and platform-specific guidelines must be complied with at all times.
❌ Prohibited and unsupported traffic (invalid traffic)

Traffic from paid advertising campaigns, including but not limited to Facebook Ads, Google Ads, or similar platforms.

Referral traffic from external websites, traffic networks, or link placements.
-
Traffic from unapproved, unconnected, or unauthorized sources.

Cloaking or concealed or misleading redirects.

Doorway pages.
-
Cookie dropping.
-
Scraping or copying third-party content.
Example:

Redirecting users through misleading URLs to make traffic appear organic.

Altering tracking data in a way that prevents proper validation.
