Google has decided to retire the “hosted domains” item that they have through the Google AdSense system. Based on an e-mail straight from the Google AdSense team, they have evaluated the benefits of their companion network and made the decision to retire the Hosted Domains program with Google AdSense. This program shutting down is different than the Google AdSense for Domains system, though.
In the long term, undeveloped domain names will only be served via their current Google AdSense for Domains distribution network. I personally don’t recall having any of my parked domain names utilizing this program, but apparently I have four domain names that use or utilized this program.
Here is more information from Google:
