Modestly Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you demand so as to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the hard disk storage space on a web hosting 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 two associated, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, 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 name of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between one and ten years. They may impose more requirements in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from the same Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain 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 so-called name servers. Each web hosting corporation has at least two name servers - ns1.services.consultingforge.name and ns2.services.consultingforge.name, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being able to set up mail address accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you get with a website hosting account. If you manage a business online portal – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. That's why you demand a reliable hosting company that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
