Cut-Price Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains
There are two features you need so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is essentially the data storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them to have a running web site.
What is a Domain Name?
We offer more than 40 tlds
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it involves 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between one and ten years. They may impose additional requirements in regard to the registrant.
Domain Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting vendors provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.gtohosting.com and ns2.gtohosting.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.
The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services
Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will receive a number of services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you have on the web server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate website, being available online and being able to set up e-mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you administer a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you need a reliable hosting provider that will supply a reliable and steady website hosting service.
