Domains and Hosting Are Important In Business


When you have a website you pay for a domain name once a year and you pay for hosting each month. This happens with every website unless you go with a free website. The bad thing about a free website is all the ads the owner puts on your site so they still make money.

With people wanting websites for their business and personal needs selling domain names and web hosting is a great business to be in. There is a lot of money to be made in this business.

The first thing you do when you are creating your website is to purchase your domain name and then you need hosting. This is a must in order to have a website. This is the prime reason why selling domain names and hosting is a great business.

Domain resellers make money by selling domain names to others. Sites that have reseller options usually have two or more options to choose from. It depends on how many domain names you want to sell as to which option you choose. These sites will have an option for someone that wants to sell just a few and then an option for those that want to sell on a regular basis.

Domain sites have a Frequently Asked Questions section to help you in making your decision. A Frequently Asked Questions page has questions that people have asked on a regular basis or ones that would come up regularly. These sites will also show you how to contact them should your questions not be answered. You need to make sure you have a complete understanding of all the requirements and what is expected of you before you decide to do this as a business. You also need to make sure you feel comfortable with the business you go with.

Now, the other important thing in an online business is hosting. When you sell hosting you have two options. You can have your own hosting business or you can be an affiliate for a hosting company. When you consider both of these options you will be able to make the right decision.

When you offer your own hosting you have to approve all sites that come through. You also have to deal with outages and updates. The good thing about it is you don’t have to share your income with others unless you offer an affiliate program, you still make more money.

Being an affiliate is also a great option. You don’t have to worry about approving sites when they come in, you don’t have to worry about down time, and you don’t have to worry about answering questions. Basically all you do is advertise and they take care of the rest. The one and only downside to being an affiliate is that you receive only a percentage of the total amount paid. The advantage is that you get that money on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis depending on the pay option the purchaser chooses.

So as you can see, domains and hosting are the two ways to start a website. So selling domains and hosting is a great online business to get into.

Add-On Domains, Parked Domains and Sub-Domains


Once you have a website up and running, you may want to launch other websites. The default way to do it is to register new domain names and open new hosting accounts. However, opening new hosting accounts can be expensive, especially if you still have plenty of free space and bandwidth available in your original account. Fortunately, it is possible to share the web space and bandwidth of your original account among different sites.

You can basically do so through: Add-On Domains Parked Domains, and Sub-Domains

What is an Add-On Domain?

An add-on domain is a new domain name that points to a subdirectory within your existing domain hosting account, where the website for the new domain will reside. Add-on domains must be registered domain names that you own, and that are configured to point to your web host’s servers. A hosting account can be expensive, especially if you have
From a web user perspective, an add-on domain functions just like any other domain.

The advantage of add-on domains is that the browser’s address bar will show ‘http://www.add-on-domain.com’ (there will be no reference to the original domain), so the process will be totally transparent to your users. If your users navigate to another page, their browser will accordingly show ‘http://www.add-on-domain.com/anotherpage.html’, just like it should.

Apart from sharing web space and bandwidth with your main domain, add-on domains also get their own cgi-bin and statistics.

Many web hosts now offer to set-up add-on domains for free. This is only fair, since you are not getting any more web space or bandwidth. Others, however, will charge you a modest one time fee, which is not bad, especially when the cost of registering the new domain is included. Finally, some web hosts will charge you a montly fee for each add-on domain you set up. In some cases, that fee can be very close to the monthly cost of your web hosting account, to the point that it is better to just open a new hosting account for the new domain. If you plan to set up add-on domains in the future, you’re better off avoiding this kind of account.

What is a Parked Domain?
A parked domain is a domain that doesn’t have a hosting account associated to it, and that is usually enabled with URL forwarding capabilities, so that it points to an existing website. You may at one given point want to register a separate domain name for your newsletter, so that it is more memorable, but may not want to move its pages to a new server, open a new hosting account, or pay to establish an add-on domain.

The difference between a parked domain and an add-on domain from a web user’s perspective is that with a parked domain the URL in the address bar will change to the physical location of the page as the page loads. From a webmaster’s perspective, the difference is that the parked domain won’t have its own separate statistics reported through the control panel of your hosting account.

Parked domains are also a good alternative for webmasters whose site is hosted by a free hosting service, since by using a memorable parked domain users won’t need to remember the cumbersome web addresses usually associated with free hosting accounts.

They are also widely used by members of affiliate programs, who forward the parked domain to the merchant pages, so that they don’t have to use an affiliate URL that includes their affiliate id.

What is a Sub-Domain?

A sub domain, also known as a ‘third-level’ domain, is a great way to create memorable web addresses for various sub-sites of your site Large businesses use sub domains to establish branding and focus on separate products or services, because a sub domain creates a separate URL and web presence, all within your same main hosting account. It is also possible to redirect (forward) traffic from a particular sub domain to another location, either within the main site or to a different website altogether.

You should be able to set up and manage add-on domains, parked domains and subdirectories from your hosting account or domain registrar control panel. However, as we usually suggest, always consult with your web host before proceeding if you have any doubts.
