Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you need in order to own a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination 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 64 symbols long and it includes 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may involve other preconditions about the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosts provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from one and the same web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.webserverbee.com and ns2.webserverbee.com, for instance. The hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain to one service provider or another.

The Demand for Reliable Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will get a number of services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you keep on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create electronic mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you get with a web hosting account. If you have a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you need a reliable web hosting service provider that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting service.
