Affordably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two things you need so as to set up a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the data storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

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 can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may contain other prerequisites with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosts provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website 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 specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.host2net.site and ns2.host2net.site, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the possibility to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Reliable website hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of online 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 write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to use e-mail boxes with your domain are the two most significant things that come with a web hosting plan. In case you have a business web site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For this reason you need a stable web hosting distributor that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting service.
