Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet different services, and you demand them both so as to have a functioning online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may have more preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account 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 modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.imporaserver.com and ns2.imporaserver.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one host or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain various services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business site, being available online and being permitted to use e-mail box accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a website hosting account. If you host a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a dependable web hosting provider that will supply a fast and steady web hosting service.
