Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you demand so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is basically the data storage space on a web server where the website files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two related, yet different solutions, and you require them both to have a functioning website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain 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 span of time between one and 10 years. They may contain more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one and the same website hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting firm has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hostinger.name and ns2.hostinger.name, for instance. The Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a business web site, being accessible online and being able to use e-mails with your domain name are the two most significant things that you receive with a web hosting account. If you administer a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is why you need a dependable hosting supplier that will deliver a fast and steady hosting solution.
