Domain is parked

[Mancunian]

"This domain is parked"
This is nothing to do with where people put their cars in Central Sydney, but its the response I get when trying to access another (popular) racing website

Has anyone else stuck this ?
What does it mean ?
Is it just my computer ?
Are you there xpt driver ?

I've tried both through IE8 and Opera both with the same response.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks...........Mancunian

I'm not sure what you mean by 'parked', but if you mean you cannot access the website but can access others, I suspect the problem is the website, not your PC browser or any other PC problem unless the site is blocking you with a cookie.

Try removing all cookies. I use CCleaner. Just click on 'run cleaner' which will leave you with a nice clean slate. Any forums you belong too will require you to log in after cleaning out all cookies.

When you buy/register a domain name you essentially "park" it for yourself to use and prevent others from buying it (technically). Most domain sites put up a generic "Domain is parked" page until the owner uploads their own page(s).

If it is coming up for another site I would say that perhaps their domain name subscription has lapsed, or their web host has gone down. I dont think it is anything to do with your computer.

Thanks for advice folks -
Crash - yes I have CCleaner and run it frequently, thanks to your advice some time ago.
Goty - yes that's what it seems like - I guess I'll just have to wait for developments.
