Low-Cost Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 entities you need in order to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is primarily the storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two similar, yet separate services, and you demand them both in order to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may include more stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web site. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting firms offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one and the same hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain 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 do that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.globalprohosting.com and ns2.globalprohosting.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the chance to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Reliable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most essential one is that the site files that you host on the server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being allowed to create e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant things that you receive with a website hosting account. If you own a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is why you need a trustworthy hosting firm that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
