Webhosting Site…And domain selling?
Posted on January 28th, 2010 by admin
I was recently wondering what it would take to make a website that would be like GoDaddy.com, UltranetDomains.com, etc. In otherwords, a website that hosts other websites. I realize I would need servers. Is there a book or something that I could read to figure out how to do this?
Also, I was wondering how to sell domain names. What does GoDaddy do to ‘make’ and ‘sell’ their domain names? Thanks!
That would be a lot of work to do. Here’s an idea of what you might need to host Websites and sell domain names:
* Servers, many serves, either physical or virtualized or mixed (best option), to host your clients’ Websites.
* Storage (like NAS), to backup your servers and clients data.
* A very strong, secure and falt-tolerant network infrastructure, as downtime is not acceptable for a service like this. This includes not only the local area network where your servers are connected, but also the Internet connection, which should be more than one and with different ISPs.
* Your very own block(s) of public IP addresses, so that your addresses don’t change if you change ISPs.
* Software to host many Websites on the same server, like Apache or Internet Information Services.
* A very stable and secure operating system, like any UNIX flavor (AIX, Solaris) to run the publishing software.
* Support personnel and tools.
