Half-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 features you require in order to start an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the storage space on a server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two associated, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it involves 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have more preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from a single website hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting provider has at least two name servers - ns1.hostitfor.me and ns2.hostitfor.me, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting supplier or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their servers, you will get different web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up electronic mails with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that come with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business online portal – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. That's why you require a stable hosting firm that will deliver a dependable and stable web hosting service.
