We’ve recently gotten some coverage regarding our recursive service blocking parked domains.
(Recursive is the part of the DNS puzzle that answers end-user requests to the Internet.)
We aren’t doing that! Our recursive service has this really cool feature that allows whomever is providing the service to its users (your Internet Service Provider) to select what sites it thinks you should be warned about. They can configure it to block the site completely, or provide a warning before you get to the site. Parked domains happens to be one choice, as are many other types of sites.
Why does it make sense to block sites at the DNS level? Because it completely protects the end-user from encountering anything that he or she may regret later. It lets you know where you’re going before you go through the door.
