Low-Cost Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 entities you demand in order to have a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is basically the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you need both of them in order to have a functioning 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 website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may entail additional stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though many service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.idomain.host and ns2.idomain.host, for instance. The Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Need of Dependable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will obtain several services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you have on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being enabled to create email address accounts with your domain are the two most essential things that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you manage a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. Therefore you demand a dependable web hosting service provider that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting service.
