Affordably Priced Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you require in order to start an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is basically the disk space on a web server where the site files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you require them both to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve additional prerequisites when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain registered with one company and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting distributors offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.linux-hosts-inc.com and ns2.linux-hosts-inc.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting supplier or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will get various web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate website, being online and being permitted to use mailboxes with your domain are the two most significant things that you get with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a reliable web hosting distributor that will deliver a dependable and stable web hosting service.
