Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you demand in order to run a web portal. 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 inherently the disk space on a web server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. 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 pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain other prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.addhost.biz and ns2.addhost.biz, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the option to modify the name servers and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive several online services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being enabled to set up email box accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a website hosting plan. If you have a corporate website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. Therefore you demand a stable web hosting corporation that will deliver a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
