Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 features you require in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet different solutions, and you need them both to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain 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 64 symbols long and it comprises 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between one and 10 yrs. They may have more stipulations with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.globalprohosting.com and ns2.globalprohosting.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one company or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being able to create email accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a hosting plan. In case you administer a corporate site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you need a stable hosting provider that will provide a fast and stable web hosting service.
