Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you demand in order to have a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is basically the disk space on a hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet different services, and you require both of them in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain more requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one and 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 to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.yourhostinghere.com and ns2.yourhostinghere.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting company or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will obtain various services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the server will now be available online when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being able to set up email boxes with your domain name are the two most essential options that come with a web hosting account. In case you manage a business site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you require a dependable hosting service provider that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting service.
