where can I park a domain temporarily?

for low cost, and customisable

[mgream]

I need to park a domain temporarily (6 months), and have the following requirements:

- customise a single page to indicate that site is parked and in process of renovation;
- provides at least one pop3, or email forwarding to capture mail directed to the domain;
- low cost;

I thought this kind of service would be easy to find, but not so. Can anyone provide recommendations? I already own the domain and it's NS is elsewhere (but I can customise the DNS entries). "Free" options such as yahoo/etc are out of the question: this is a professional operation.

Thanks

(and remember your reply will help others in the future ...)

I would just purchase a cheap hosting plan, then you have exactly what you want. There are plans for less than ten dollars a year if you search for cheap hosting.

You say you've already bought your domain, so this may not be much use to you, but directnic offers a domain and a 10MB site with popup for $15/year. $15 more takes off the popup.

My host offers 500Mb storage and 3000Mb bandwidth, unlimited pop3 and unlimited subdomains and an incredible amount of features for only $1.99 a month.
I didn't found a cheaper host yet.

Sticky me for the address.

Thanks for responses. I found the solution: a hosting provider here in the UK, costing 11.75GBP (incl. tax) for a year of 1MB hosting space, and 1 POP3 email address. It took me about 2 hours to find this amongst all of the noise out there.

For future reference mydomain.com does this for free.

cabbie:

I've just looked. It doesn't seem to offer this.

Many places offer free parking iff you purchase the domain from them, or pay to transfer the domain to them, but I already own the domain and the NS is elsewhere (that offers free parking, but no customisation of the parking page).

mydomain offers free url forwarding, but that's pointless because I require content storage.

Can you point me directly to the solution that satisfies my requirements?

mgream, Hi.First of all you have to open up an account which is free.Because I already have domains in their account so i just add a new domain and purchase domain forwarding which is free..I then go to that domain in my account and assign meta tags,meta title and text that i want on the first page.
Because you are a new customer I am not sure whether you need to add the domain first to your account or purchase their domain forwarding first.
But whichever it is the process is the same.
After that you can set your free email forwarding.
