Affordable Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand in order to establish a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two related, yet separate services, and you need both of them so as to have a running web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of 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, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten years. They may impose other stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosts offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.cloud-servers.reseller-hosting-themes.com and ns2.cloud-servers.reseller-hosting-themes.com, for instance. The hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the option to modify the name servers and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being able to use electronic mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant things that you receive with a website hosting plan. In case you run a business web portal – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a dependable web hosting service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
