Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are 2 features you require in order to run a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is basically the data 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 package are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you require them both in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves two entities – a Top-Level Domain (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 to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may have additional specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting corporations offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one single CP tool. Either way, since 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 do that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.serverpremier.com and ns2.serverpremier.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will get several web services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being permitted to create e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you have a business website – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is the reason why you need a dependable web hosting service provider that will offer a fast and stable website hosting solution.
