Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand in order to launch a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the storage space on a server where the website files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 related, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail more stipulations concerning the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle everything from one and the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. 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 perform that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.morrisdns.com and ns2.morrisdns.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Dependable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get several services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host on the server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being permitted to set up mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most important options that you receive with a web hosting package. If you have a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. For that reason you require a stable web hosting corporation that will offer a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
