The other two are still well before their sell by dates so I thought I could make use of them rather than just leave them lying around. One of them I have used as a parked domain on one of the hosted ones. I am really wondering whether it would be more sensible to set the other one up as an add on rather than parked. Not having used this sort of thing before I am wondering about pros and cons re parked and add on domains.
