Moderately Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two things you demand in order to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, 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 free to register, 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 particular period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail more stipulations with regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from a single hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.yourpersonalserver.com and ns2.yourpersonalserver.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several online services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you host on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to use mail address accounts with your domain are the two most important things that you receive with a web hosting account. If you administer a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you demand a reliable hosting distributor that will furnish a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
