Domain name parking alternative simplifies pricing of Enhanced and Managed accounts.
Domain name parking alternative WhyPark announced today that it has simplified its pricing structure.
Users still pay $99 to set up 100 sites, but pricing for Enhanced and Managed accounts is a fixed monthly charge of $10 and $25 respectively.
Compared to basic accounts, Enhanced accounts offer:
-More templates
-10 MB image hosting
-RSS feed integration
-Stats sent via email
-Social networking features
-Premium content
-Commenting and moderation capabilities of articles
Managed accounts include all the features of Standard and Enhanced accounts, plus:
-100 MB image hosting
-Syndicated RSS feed publication
-WhyPark moderates article comments
Enhanced and Managed accounts also get discounts on paid services such as article writing and search engine submission.
WhyPark also released platform upgrades such as stats improvements (see more stats on one page, and elimination of search engine bots from stats), speedier site, better bulk changes, and easier edits.
Dan Sanchez says
I like the idea on paper… but once you consider the fact that it uses syndicated content, I rule it out immediately. Google is catching up to these splogs, I can’t risk having my entire portfolio banned from search engines.
Oh well, what do I know anyway?
Craig Rowe says
Dan – one thing to remember is that our platform has a ton of tools to make it quick and easy to add custom content, update the layout, etc. It’s completely customizable and many sites don’t use the content we license. They use us for the ability to quickly develop out their domains.
Peter Egan says
Dan,
I am an extremely satisfied WhyPark customer. Please take a moment or two to observe the following examples of a few of my current WhyPark sites:
1) http://bestdomains.name/
Observe the RSS feed on the left sidebar just below the navigation panel.
2) http://bestdomains.name/p109651-fox-news-special-selling-domain-names.cfm
This is a custome page I built (ovserve the URL structure, relevent YouTube and my editorial commentary.
3) http://bigeasylinks.com/
Observe the custom RSS reader and two posts (top, front and center of homepage) containing relevant YouTube videos with unique commentary.
Craig has put together one hell of a publishing platform that has allowed me to completely re-engineer my business to a far superior business model that was not dependent on domain sales in order to remain financially solvent.
Craig, feel free to use this comment in WP promotional material if you choose to do so.

Also Dan, let me throw in a simple fact for you…
If you spend 5 minutes on a domain you’re building out for SE organic traffic, and you’re receiving “syndicated content” on it from WhyPark, your solution to “duplicate content” is simple: you can completely throw off Google by just adding 150 words of custom content on the page, or site. Add a graphic/photo and that even makes it sing.
You can do this by having WhyPark experts write something for you, or you can do some quick research on your subject, and rewrite your “understanding” of the content in a quick 150 words, add a page through WhyPark’s easy management system, then find a simple photo (take one yourself) relevant to the domain, and add it.
Bingo, there is no chance of “syndicated content” or duplicate pages blacklisted by google.
Like I’ve said before… Tens of thousands of articles are repeated on hundreds of thousands of websites across the websites DAILY. Those sites aren’t “blacklisted” by google.
However, to make it foolproof, you can make a small change to the page, a little added content on the page makes it custom and google most likely doesn’t “mark” it as a “duplicate”.
WhyPark won’t tell you that we have a “lazy man’s way to domain riches”. We are here to honestly help domainers make the most out of their portfolios. We give you a solid foundation for building out your domains, and if you just give a few minutes to those domains once a few weeks, you can easily create “custom sites” even though some of your content is syndicated content we provide.
Remember, our content is keyword relevant, attracts SE attention, but it’s up to you to add that little “special touch” that makes the page/site your own. It costs $.99 a domain at standard level… you can spend five minutes to do some research on your domain’s prodservs as you add them, and quickly type up 150 words, even add a graphic, that changes the look, content, and feel of the site that Google will most likely accept as an original page.
Domainers are hard workers, focused, and see the end results at the right time. Noobies expect to get money for taking the easy road. Ironically, a noobie can quickly get the “gist” of adding custom content to their sites parked at WhyPark that give those domains a whole new life, and noobies can benefit from those domains within 90 days or sooner.
WhyPark asks for customers who are committed to applying their brains and desire to augment the foundation we lay out for them, or hire our expert team to do it for them.
Thanks Dub-A for allowing me to make this comment and doing a followup on Whypark.

I have completely changed course regarding WhyPark. A number of my domains – all with 100% unique content – were blacklisted from Google, apparently for nothing more than being hosted on WhyPark’s servers.
One of those listed above was among the victims. WhyPark is now a potential death sentence for domains. I’ll never point another domain to their nameservers again.
Stephen Douglas says
@ Fat Lester,
Cut back on the cheese and chili fries, bro, cuz that was the biggest bullshit post on Whypark I’ve ever seen. If your domains were “blacklisted” by Google (the most transparent revenue machine for domainers *cough*), its because YOU did something wrong on your sites, not because of Whypark servers. Why is this true? Because if your story was true, over 800,000 Whypark websites would be hurting, and they aren’t. At least not my 400 sites.
Try a different attack on them, and then reveal your REAL NAME… and give us an example of your domains parked at Whypark. Other than that… lame comment, posted before you said it, and disproved hundreds of times.
really. Lame.
