Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you demand in order to own a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is principally the data storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (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 of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between one and ten years. They may involve other specifications with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one single Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.123webplan.com and ns2.123webplan.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name gives you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive various services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being enabled to create e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you get with a hosting package. If you run a corporate website – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you require a reliable company that will offer a reliable and stable website hosting service.
