✦AI Summary
A new DNS convention, defined by RFC 10023, allows domain owners to signal that a domain is for sale using a `_for-sale` TXT record. This method enables advertising a domain's availability to brokers and services while keeping the website live, distinguishing it from domain parking or WHOIS data.
If a domain is genuinely for sale, say so in DNS. A TXT record at _for-sale.example.com advertises it to brokers and availability services without taking the site down or parking it.
