Post-Parking Monetization - Rapid Domain Builder
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 3:27PM Oversee.net's DOMAINfest Global was again a big success. The company is the parent company of Domain Sponsor
- one of the premier domain parking companies - but they also introduced domain owners to some new monetization options at the recent conference. Rapid Domain Builder generated a lot of buzz at their "Pitchfest." The purpose of the pitchfest was to introduce domainers to "new, alpha- or beta-stage product and service ideas for increasing website traffic and revenue."
Rapid Domain Builder appears to be a hosting and content management package that is priced in a pay-as-you-go manner. It is still in beta and it has some rough edges. I've played around with it a little and there is a learning curve - but there is also a lot of promise. It uses several different content management systems, and allows you to use AdSense and DevHub as well. You can even create Wordpress sites with their platform (although I'm still not sure why you would want to - WordPress is free and easy to use.)
It does not appear to me that the service adds any content to your domains unless you pay extra for this. You can apparently hire staff to create content for you and develop out your site within their system. You can see your Rapid Domain Builder sites before you pay to actually host them. Kicking the tires is free.
Expect to spend several hours figuring out all the options here. Rapid Domain Builder is built on the MyPage.com platform which appears to primarily provide hosting services. The service promises to give domain owners a quick way to develop and monetize in bulk. Pricing is still a mystery to me too. In some places they quote prices as low as $1 per domain, and in other places it looks like $299 plus $2.99 per domain. That's quite a big difference. I see the potential in their site, but I am hopelessly lost figuring out all the options.

hi...i've just used rapiddomainbuilder and i can see that they still have a lot of kinks to make it useable ..although to be fair its easier and a bit user friendlier than some of the domain building apps i've used before....but the most important thing for me is to be able to see and check on my domains and not wonder where everything is...i've spoken to myda their proj manager i think and i believe they're just showing the tip of the iceberg and theyr'e now building a beta for bulk tools posting and editing which would be a great and very convenient addition since none of those ever existed before on other systems i've used and i've used a lot without any help from any pgorammer ...so i should say for a startup and beta production app...its a good choice to be on and whats more they're "really really cheap" ...$1 per month per site so that basically makes $12 yr...
p..s.. oh and im going to definitely try out to enter their domain challenge contest....later dude...
hi....i've also been toying with rapiddomain builder and yes i think they're user interface needs some brushing up but all in all ....its a very very promising app ....would like to see a community on top of the membership so you can network with other domainers, website owners and i think staff or developers......will probably go and dump some of my unmonetized domains in there until trial period ends and see if its really better in the long run....also i was told by Cathy I think that they're shifting to a bigger hosting option which is a plus ...bottom line it would be better to monetize medium to smaller domain names on their builder....so there goes my two cents.....
