Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you demand so as to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting plan, which is inherently the disk space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you demand them both in order to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination 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 is made of two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may include other prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting distributors offer both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from a single Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.idomain.host and ns2.idomain.host, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will receive different services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create email accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate website, being online and being permitted to set up electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most significant things that you receive with a website hosting plan. In case you run a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. That's why you need a trustworthy hosting distributor that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
