New domain parking company offers charity donation and no cost brokerage services.

A domain industry vet has started a new parking company with a charitable twist.

Jakob Knightly, formerly with NameDrive, is launching Rikimu.com next week.

At a high level, Rikimu is a domain parking service with a charitable element: the company donates 5% of its share of revenue to charity.

But Rikimu has some other interesting features. A key one is free domain brokerage services in which Rikimu will handle negotiations and not charge a commission.

For domainers more interested in maximizing sales inquiries than domain parking revenue, the company offers sales-focused landers such as this one:

A number of domain parking companies have come onto the scene in the past two years, and Rikimu has some features to make it worth a look.
