Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you need in order to have a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose other prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, although numerous companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one and the same website hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.bootdomain.com and ns2.bootdomain.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you host on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a business web page, being online and being enabled to create email box accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you obtain with a web hosting account. In case you have a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you require a dependable host that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting service.
