Parking lets you keep a domain in your account without committing a domain slot to it. A parked domain stays in your portfolio, but:
  • Monitoring is paused
  • No reports are processed
  • It does not count toward your domain slot limit, and it is not billable
You can reactivate (un-park) a domain at any time, as long as a free slot is available.

​
When to park a domain

Parking is built for domains you own but don’t actively send mail from:
  • Defensive brand registrations — look-alike or alternate-spelling domains you registered so others can’t use them.
  • Legacy domains — domains you keep but no longer send from.
  • Redirects — domains that only forward to a primary site.
It also helps with slot management. When moving from a trial to the Free plan (which allows a single active domain), park the others instead of removing them so you keep their history. On a Scale plan, parking lets you free a slot for another domain without losing the parked one.
Parked domains stay out of your active counts and don’t distort your traffic metrics, while remaining saved in your account — so you keep complete brand coverage without noise in your reports. They are shown separately from your purchased slots in the Domain overview.

How to park a domain

1

Open the Domains page

Select Domains in the left navigation.
2

Open the domain's actions menu

Click the ⋮ menu at the end of the domain’s row.
3

Select Park domain

Choose Park domain. The domain moves to Parked status, its slot is released, and monitoring pauses.
To bring a domain back, open the same ⋮ menu and un-park it. Reactivating moves the domain to Active and occupies one free slot.

​
Showing and hiding parked domains

In the Domain overview, the Parked and Unparked filters above the table let you show or hide parked domains, and the Parked Domains card shows how many you have. Because parked domains use no slot, they are counted separately from your purchased slots.

​
How parking affects billing

Parked domains are never billable — a slot is only consumed while a domain is Active or Pending. For the full breakdown of which domains count toward your plan, see Which domains count as billable? and Domain status.
Subdomains that DMARCeye detects automatically from your reports are parked by default, so they never use a slot until you choose to activate them. See Subdomains.
