Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names
There are two items you require so as to set up an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is basically the disk space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet separate services, and you need them both so as to have a running site.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may have additional requirements about the registrant.
Domain Hosting Solutions
As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from a single hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.betaxhosting.com and ns2.betaxhosting.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain to one web host or another.
The Need of Dependable website hosting Services
The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will get various services. The most important one is that the web site files that you have on the web server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being able to create electronic mails with your domain are the two most essential options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you administer a business web site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a reliable web hosting provider that will offer a dependable and stable web hosting service.
