Half-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 features you need so as to start a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet different solutions, and you require both of them in order to have a running website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve additional specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of companies offer both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from one web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.webhostism.com and ns2.webhostism.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Need of Stable website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting distributor and is added to their servers, you will receive a number of services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business site, being online and being enabled to set up electronic mail accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you get with a web hosting account. If you host a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you require a dependable host that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting service.
