Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you demand in order to set up a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is basically the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 associated, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, 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 available for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail more requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from a single web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.hessehosting.com and ns2.hessehosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the option to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will get a number of services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create email address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being allowed to use electronic mails with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you receive with a web hosting plan. If you own a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you require a reliable hosting vendor that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting service.
