Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you need so as to set up a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the hard disk space on a hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name 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 sixty four symbols long and it is made of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (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 open for registration, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and 10 years. They may impose other specifications about the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many companies provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from the same website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each provider has at least two name servers - ns1.dddwebservices.com and ns2.dddwebservices.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the chance to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting firm or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being permitted to set up email addresses with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a hosting plan. If you have a corporate website – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For this reason you require a reliable hosting company that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting service.
