Inexpensive Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two entities you require so as to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is fundamentally the disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between one and ten years. They may involve other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, even though many service providers provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from the same website hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.pc021hosting.com and ns2.pc021hosting.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the site files that you have on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being able to use email addresses with your domain are the two most significant options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you own a business web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That's why you demand a dependable hosting corporation that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting service.
