Affordably Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two connected, yet different services, and you require them both so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and 10 years. They may include more specifications with respect to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosts offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.novawebhosting.com and ns2.novawebhosting.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the chance to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one company or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being online and being enabled to use electronic mails with your domain are the two most significant options that you obtain with a website hosting account. In case you own a corporate website – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. This is why you demand a stable provider that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting service.
