# What is a parked domain?
 | 
			
		||||
[Domain parking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_parking) is the registration of an Internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Domain without e-mail

# Domain without e-mail
 | 
			
		||||
If a domain is not using e-mail it is recommended to use the following settings.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Null MX
 | 
			
		||||
## Null MX
 | 
			
		||||
Explicitly configure an 'empty' MX record according to [RFC7505 ](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7505). 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`example.nl IN MX 0 .`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### DMARC
 | 
			
		||||
## DMARC
 | 
			
		||||
Set DMARC policy to reject mails, but allow reporting to take place. This helps detecting activity related to your domain.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`_dmarc IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:rua@example.nl; ruf=mailto:ruf@example.nl`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### DKIM
 | 
			
		||||
## DKIM
 | 
			
		||||
When used with a wildcard selector, setting an empty public key indicates that all previously used keys are revoked and must be considered unreliable. The owner of a domain can also use this to explicitly signal that a domain is not configured to use e-mail. See our [DKIM how-to](https://github.com/internetstandards/toolbox-wiki/blob/master/DKIM-how-to.md) for more information. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`*._domainkey IN TXT "v=DKIM1; p="`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### SPF
 | 
			
		||||
## SPF
 | 
			
		||||
Set an an empty policy (not mentioning any ip-adresses or hostnames which are allowed to send mail) and a hard fail.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`example.nl IN TXT "v=spf1 –all"`
 | 
			
		||||
 
 | 
			
		||||
## Domain without a website
 | 
			
		||||
# Domain without a website
 | 
			
		||||
Apply the following settings to domains not using a website.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* Don't use an A or AAAA record for parked domains.
 | 
			
		||||
* Don't redirect from a parked domain to the used domain, since this encourages users to keep using the parked domain name. If a redirect is desirable, make sure to use the proper redirect order in order for HSTS headers to remain effective: 
 | 
			
		||||
    1. redirect from HTTP to HTTPS on the same (sub)domain.
