Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you need in order to have a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is essentially the hard disk space on a web server where the website files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two associated, yet different solutions, and you require both of them to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose other specifications when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname 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 have in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting service providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting service provider has at least two name servers - ns1.www.designturtle.com and ns2.www.designturtle.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get various web services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you have on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being able to set up email address accounts with your domain are the two most important things that you receive with a website hosting account. If you administer a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a trustworthy hosting service provider that will offer a fast and steady web hosting service.
