Cut-Rate Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two things you require in order to run a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 linked, yet different services, and you require both of them so as 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 website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it involves 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and ten years. They may involve additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the content that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting suppliers provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one single web 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 hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.blackandwhiteweb.com and ns2.blackandwhiteweb.com, for example. The Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being allowed to create mail accounts with your domain name are the two most significant options that come with a web hosting plan. If you manage a business web page – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is why you require a dependable web hosting supplier that will provide a dependable and steady hosting solution.
