Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 features you need so as to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is basically the disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you need them both to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it contains two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain additional preconditions with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one single website 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 to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.www.webgear.biz and ns2.www.webgear.biz, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to modify the NS records and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy Web Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will obtain several online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business online portal, being online and being allowed to set up mail accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you get with a hosting package. In case you manage a business site – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. That is why you require a trustworthy hosting provider that will provide a fast and steady web hosting solution.
