Domain Parking

The question was vague because this is an area I know little about. It looks as though you are very much more conversant with this. My grandson has an older version i-phone and has had charges to his account made by p2e when I investigated it looks as though it was the domain parking co listed above. Would that make sense or not and could you explain what domain parking is. It looks to me that it is easy to lose lots of money these days, what with p2e and continuous payments.

"Parking" a domain simply means that you pay a server company to put your website online and to provide maintenance for it. The charges usually are monthly. GoDaddy is a more well-known company for this purpose and is reputable. But, if your grandson has no domain (website) of his own, I'd say that there is definitely something fishy going on and it should be investigated further, maybe by notifying the i-phone account people and seeing if you can get more details of this p2e. It sounds to me like either the phone company or p2e have entered the wrong account number for this charge, assuming your grandson has no website of his own. There should also be a way to have all money reimbursed if it is not a legitimate charge.

Because p2e is set so that there is no easy way of finding out who is charging you.I find it all rather confusing and know that sms charging for premium text messages also use p2e. There are 4 charges of about £4.50 all made once a week on a Monday night at about 10 o/c and within a minute or two. The phone company say that they can do nothing as there was an arrangement made with a 3rd party and grandson is really sure he has done nothing and has really made an effort to stay within his minutes so that he only pays his contract fee.

Hi lamps it is something I've just come across and has got me involved in an all new area of the internet which seems a bit seedy to me. Here comes the explanation as I understand it :- If you have a domain name on the net it can be under construction or a complete site if it's with a domain parking company such as Zenilco Center company you get paid when someone views your site. Other things on the net to be aware of when purchasing, trials products. for instance is that you don't sign up to continuous payments as your bank or credit card can't stop the payments. Hope this has been of some use but remember that it is new to me and to be sure I would investigate for yourself as well.

At the time of original post my daughter-in-law had trouble with an SMS charge on her mobile bill and the company making the charge was listed as Zenilco Center. At that time I was trying to find out who they were, still not sure but it does seem as though there are a lot of companies working under their registration. Still not sure how it all works but I can see that they collect loads of cash.
