Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you require so as to kick off an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is essentially the storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it involves 2 entities – 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 choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and ten years. They may have additional specifications concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least two name servers - ns1.zoyahost.com and ns2.zoyahost.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the option to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being allowed to use email address accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that you receive with a website hosting account. If you own a corporate web portal – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. Therefore you demand a dependable hosting corporation that will offer a fast and steady website hosting service.
