Reasonably Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two things you need in order to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is basically the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are two connected, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and 10 years. They may include additional prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web site. You can have a domain registered with one company and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosting distributors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting firm has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.webserver247.com and ns2.www.webserver247.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the option to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one host or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy Website Hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you host on the server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web site, being available online and being enabled to create mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you host a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. For this reason you need a dependable hosting firm that will deliver a reliable and stable web hosting service.
