Budget Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are two features you need in order to start an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the data storage space on a server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet different solutions, and you require them both so as to have an operational web portal.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to pick 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 yrs. They may entail other requirements concerning the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many hosting firms offer both services and it is more convenient to manage everything from one single website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.sunset-host.com and ns2.sunset-host.com, for instance. The CP that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain to one hosting supplier or another.
The Demand for Dependable web hosting Solutions
Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will obtain various online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being able to create email boxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that come with a website hosting package. If you administer a corporate site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable web hosting supplier that will offer a fast and stable hosting solution.
