Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 entities you require in order to own a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is fundamentally the disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet separate solutions, and you need them both so as to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may involve additional specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from a single web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account 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 alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting corporation has at least two name servers - ns1.hostaguar.com and ns2.hostaguar.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain to one hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive various services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being enabled to use emails with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting account. If you manage a business website – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. For this reason you need a reliable company that will deliver a fast and steady web hosting service.
