Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you need so as to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is principally the data storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you need them both to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose additional stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.humeinternet.com and ns2.humeinternet.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Necessity for Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get different online services. The most important one is that the website files that you host on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being online and being permitted to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a hosting plan. In case you own a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you require a dependable hosting supplier that will offer a fast and steady web hosting service.
