Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are 2 items you require so as to start a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and ten years. They may have additional prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though many hosts offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one single Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.godadywebhost.com and ns2.godadywebhost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most important one is that the site files that you accommodate on the server will now be shown when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business website, being online and being able to create email addresses with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that come with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. That's why you require a dependable host that will furnish a reliable and stable hosting solution.
