Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two items you demand so as to have a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the data storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain 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 involves two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between one and 10 yrs. They may include other specifications about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, although many web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from the same website hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.addhost.biz and ns2.addhost.biz, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will get various services. The most vital one is that the website files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being able to use electronic mails with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a web hosting package. In case you administer a business site – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you need a dependable web hosting vendor that will supply a fast and stable web hosting solution.
