Cut-Rate Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names


There are 2 features you demand so as to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the data storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting vendors provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from one and the same website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.yirsitehosting.com and ns2.yirsitehosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being able to set up mail addresses with your domain name are the two most significant things that come with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate website – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is why you demand a stable web hosting service provider that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
