Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 items you require so as to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the hard disk space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate services, and you require them both so as to have a running website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may involve more preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one and the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.novawebhosting.com and ns2.novawebhosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain several web services. The most important one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a business site, being available online and being able to set up email address accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you get with a website hosting package. If you administer a corporate web site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you require a trustworthy web hosting company that will provide a fast and stable web hosting solution.
