Affordable Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you require so as to start a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet different solutions, and you require them both in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and 10 years. They may entail other specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from one single web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name 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 accomplish that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least 2 name servers - ns1.betaxhosting.com and ns2.betaxhosting.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the option to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting service provider and is added to their web servers, you will get various services. The most essential one is that the site files that you keep on the hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a business web page, being available online and being permitted to use electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a hosting account. In case you host a corporate website – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a reliable hosting company that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting service.
