Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand in order to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them so as to have a functioning web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may include other requirements when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from a single web hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.mychicagowebhosting.com and ns2.mychicagowebhosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most important one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business website, being online and being able to use e-mail accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting package. If you administer a business website – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a trustworthy web hosting corporation that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting service.
