Low-Price Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two things you demand so as to run a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet different services, and you need them both to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it contains two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and 10 years. They may contain additional specifications regarding the registrant.

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from one single web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web 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 do that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.limeserver.com and ns2.www.limeserver.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being allowed to set up mail addresses with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting plan. If you administer a business web page – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you demand a reliable hosting company that will supply a fast and stable web hosting solution.
