Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two things you need so as to kick off a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain more prerequisites with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the 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 alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.webweavers1.com and ns2.webweavers1.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the chance to modify the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive various online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being permitted to set up electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that come with a web hosting plan. If you administer a corporate site – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you require a trustworthy company that will offer a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
