Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you demand in order to establish 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 web hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet different solutions, and you demand them both in order to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains 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 entail additional prerequisites regarding 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 accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting service providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.thededicatedhosting.com and ns2.www.thededicatedhosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will receive various services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be available online when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being enabled to create mails with your domain name are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you run a business site – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a trustworthy service provider that will supply a fast and stable hosting solution.
