Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains
There are 2 entities you need in order to host an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is basically the disk space on a hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both to have an operational web site.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of TLDs to pick 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 years. They may include additional stipulations in regard to the registrant.
Domain Web Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from a single website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.suncloud-hosting.com and ns2.suncloud-hosting.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting supplier or another.
The Need of Dependable Hosting Services
Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will receive various web services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being allowed to create mail address accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that you get with a web hosting account. In case you run a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. That is why you demand a trustworthy web hosting provider that will provide a dependable and steady hosting solution.
