Low-Cost Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two things you need in order to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet different solutions, and you need both of them so as to have a working website.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, 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 open for registration, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include other stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your website. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting service providers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one Control Panel tool. Either way, because 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 do that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each host has at least two nameservers - ns1.jonknight.biz and ns2.jonknight.biz, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several web services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being enabled to create electronic mailboxes with your domain name are the two most essential things that you obtain with a website hosting account. If you run a corporate online portal – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a dependable web hosting vendor that will furnish a dependable and steady hosting service.
