Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand in order to have a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk space on a hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you need both of them in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain more requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will display the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosting providers provide both services and it is more convenient to manage everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.hostitfor.me and ns2.hostitfor.me, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the chance to modify the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting firm or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most important one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being permitted to set up mails with your domain name are the two most fundamental things that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you manage a business web portal – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. For this reason you need a stable hosting provider that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting service.
