What Specifically Happens When You Park a Domain?
Parking a domain shouldn't leave your brand exposed. When you point a domain to our parking nameservers, OnlyDNS automatically synthesizes and publishes comprehensive DNS defense records to neutralize email spoofing and present a professional web presence.
RFC 7505 Null MX
IN MX 0 .Publishes an explicit Null MX record (a single dot target with 0 priority). This standard tells RFC 7505-compliant mail servers worldwide that the domain does not accept email under any circumstances, preventing unmonitored mailbox abuse and eliminating backscatter.
Strict Sender Policy (SPF)
v=spf1 -allPublishes a restrictive SPF policy asserting that no servers or IP addresses are authorized to send email on behalf of this domain. Inbound spam filters immediately fail authentication on any unauthorized outbound mail.
Enforced DMARC Policy
p=reject; sp=reject;
Publishes a strict DMARC rejection policy at _dmarc. This instructs receiving email providers (Google, Microsoft 365, Apple, Yahoo) to quarantine and immediately reject any message spoofing your domain or subdomains.
Clean Parked Web Page
A & AAAA RecordsWeb traffic to the domain loads a clean, respectful, lightweight landing page stating that the domain is registered and parked. No paid advertising, zero spammy affiliate banners, zero tracking cookies.
Verify with Any Standard DNS Tool
Because OnlyDNS follows strict IETF standards, you can inspect and verify your parked domain's defenses from any terminal using standard utilities like dig or nslookup.
- RFC 7505 Compliant: Mail systems drop connection attempts immediately.
- DMARC Alignment: Strict alignment flags spoofed headers.
- Global Anycast: Rapid low-latency response times across 23 edge locations.
Why Defensive & Unused Domains Need DNS Records
A common misconception is that leaving an unused domain with blank DNS or default registrar parking is harmless. In reality, inactive domains without email authentication are the top attack vector for domain impersonation and executive phishing.
Defend Brand & Typos
If you own brand.com and defensively bought brand.net, scammers can spoof emails from the .net domain unless strict SPF and DMARC reject policies are published.
No Paid Advertising
Many registrars monetize parked domains with deceptive pay-per-click links, malware warnings, or intrusive ads. OnlyDNS provides a clean, neutral placeholder page with no paid advertising.
Instant Global Activation
When you are ready to launch your project, website, or email service, you can transition seamlessly to an active OnlyDNS zone in seconds without downtime.
Everything You Need to Know About Free Parking
Is OnlyDNS Free Parking really 100% free?
Yes. There are no setup fees, monthly charges, hidden costs, or credit card requirements. Free domain parking is provided as a public security service to help domain owners secure unused namespaces.
Do I need to sign up for an account?
No. You do not need to register on OnlyDNS. Simply update your domain's authoritative nameservers at your domain registrar to parking.onlydns.com and parking.onlydns.us.
How long does parking activation take?
Our Anycast nameservers respond immediately. Global propagation depends on your registrar and the TTL of your previous nameserver records, typically completing within a few minutes to a few hours.
