Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you require so as to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet different services, and you demand both of them so as to have a functioning 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 web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises two constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose other requirements with regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although many web hosting companies offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from a single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each host has at least two nameservers - ns1.hosting-eg.com and ns2.hosting-eg.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Demand for Reliable Web Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of web services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to set up mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you manage a business web site – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you demand a reliable web hosting supplier that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
