Cheap Hosting Services for Your TLDs

There are two things you require so as to have a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the disk space on a web server where the web site files will be located, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both in order to have an operational site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and 10 yrs. They may include additional prerequisites in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from one single web hosting CP tool. Either way, since 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 perform that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.gtohosting.com and ns2.gtohosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being permitted to set up e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that you obtain with a web hosting account. If you have a business web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. For this reason you need a trustworthy company that will offer a fast and stable web hosting service.
