Inexpensive Hosting Services for Your Domains
There are 2 items you require in order to have an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 linked, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational web portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve other preconditions in relation to the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.mydragonweb.com and ns2.mydragonweb.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.
The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions
The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host 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 create e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being permitted to set up e-mail boxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting plan. If you administer a business website – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. That's why you demand a trustworthy service provider that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
