Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you demand so as to kick off an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is essentially the hard disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet different solutions, and you require them both to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between one and ten years. They may involve additional specifications about the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web page. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting service providers provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hostvolcano.com and ns2.hostvolcano.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain to one hosting provider or another.

The Need of Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will obtain several services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being enabled to create mail addresses with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you host a corporate site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you need a stable web hosting provider that will offer a fast and stable website hosting solution.
