Cut-Rate Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two entities you require so as to have a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the disk space on a hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are two connected, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain other prerequisites when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of hosts provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.domain.svhost.net and ns2.domain.svhost.net, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the chance to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting company or another.

The Need of Stable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up mails like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a business web site, being online and being permitted to create email address accounts with your domain are the two most important options that you get with a website hosting account. If you have a business site – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable hosting vendor that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
