Cut-Price Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are two features you demand in order to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two linked, yet different services, and you require them both to have a working web page.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it consists of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain 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 given interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may have other specifications when it comes to the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of hosts provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.idomain.host and ns2.idomain.host, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain to one company or another.
The Necessity for Dependable Web Hosting Solutions
The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will get various web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you have a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to create e-mail address accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a website hosting account. If you manage a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you need a stable hosting company that will supply a dependable and steady hosting solution.
