Cut-Rate Web Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you require in order to own a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet different solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have more preconditions when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one and the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting corporation has at least two name servers - ns1.addhost.biz and ns2.addhost.biz, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain to one service provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being permitted to set up mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most important options that you get with a web hosting package. If you manage a business web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a reliable hosting service provider that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting service.
