Modestly Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand in order to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is basically the data storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two similar, yet separate services, and you demand both of them in order to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite 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 certain interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may contain other prerequisites with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosts offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting firm has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.hostoffice.com and ns2.www.hostoffice.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the option to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive various services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you keep on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a business web site, being available online and being allowed to set up e-mails with your domain are the two most essential things that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you host a business web portal – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. Therefore you require a stable hosting provider that will deliver a dependable and stable web hosting service.
