Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you need in order to run a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is primarily the data storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet different solutions, and you require both of them to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include more prerequisites about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many web hosting firms provide both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from the same website hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.cloudhost.reseller-hosting-themes.com and ns2.cloudhost.reseller-hosting-themes.com, for example. The hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will obtain several web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you keep on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being able to use email accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you obtain with a hosting package. In case you manage a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. That is why you require a dependable host that will deliver a fast and steady website hosting solution.
