Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you require in order to own a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you need both of them in order to have a running web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may impose additional stipulations with regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.duoservers.org and ns2.duoservers.org, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being permitted to set up electronic mails with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a website hosting package. In case you own a business web site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you require a stable host that will deliver a fast and stable website hosting solution.
