Cut-Price Hosting Packages for Your Domains
There are 2 things you need so as to kick off a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting plan, which is inherently the storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two connected, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a working web portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 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 Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may include other preconditions about the registrant.
Domain Web Hosting Services
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 write it in a web browser, it will display the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage all services from a single website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package 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 alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting supplier has at least 2 name servers - ns1.yourpersonalserver.com and ns2.yourpersonalserver.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting supplier or another.
The Need of Stable Website Hosting Services
As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will get a number of web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being allowed to use e-mail addresses with your domain are the two most significant things that you obtain with a web hosting plan. In case you administer a corporate website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. That's why you need a trustworthy provider that will offer a fast and steady web hosting service.
