: After domain registration at Namecheap, is the default parked domain page bad for SEO? I bought a domain from Namecheap 2 week ago, but right now don't not use this domain. This domain is

@Heady270

Leaving a domain parked at the domain registrar after registration won't hurt your eventual rankings in any way. Leaving a domain name with a default page at the domain registrar is very common. Pretty much all domains are in this state for at least a short amount of time. Many are left there for months or years.

Google doesn't want to index the site while it is parked at the domain registrar. Google says:


Parked domains

Parked domains are placeholder sites with little unique content, so Google doesn’t typically include them in search results.


However, once you put your own content on that domain, Google will crawl it again and immediately notice that it is no longer parked. At that point, Google will index your content just fine.

Googlebot has special code to help it identify parked domains. It will choose not to index the domain while parked, but no penalties are applied against the domain. You will be able to get it ranked again at any point you choose to unpark it.

I (We) don't know how Google treat new register domain or parked domain webpages like above you said, but why just don't redirect that domain to some other website, like Google.com or something other website. That things you can setup through your domain panel without using any hosting service, and once your site is ready, just remove that redirection. That is what I will recommended it.
