Sedo Introduces CNAME Parking

Parking firm touts benefits over DNS.

Domain parkers have only a few days left ahead of the end of URL forwarding for Google parking. For most people that means switching to DNS parking. But there’s another option at some parking firms, counting CNAME.

CNAME parking basically lets you point the web traffic for a domain to the parking servers. It’s how Google’s own Adsense for Domains self-serve product originally worked. It’s a bit more work the first time around, but Sedo states it have a few benefits in the future since you have an account-specific CNAME address:

1. Clarity on whether you still own the domains in your account to ensure a smooth selling process on the Sedo marketplace

2. An automated process of adding fresh domains to Sedo

3. The ability to still set your own MX entries and control the emails for your domains (available now)
