Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you require so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the disk space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten years. They may involve additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from a single website hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.domaineshops.com and ns2.domaineshops.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up email accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being online and being permitted to create mailboxes with your domain name are the two most essential options that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you own a business web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. That's why you require a trustworthy company that will provide a fast and stable hosting service.
