Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you require in order to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the data storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you need both of them to have an operational site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and ten years. They may involve other stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web page. You can have a domain registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many hosts offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one single web hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting firm has at least 2 name servers - ns1.sunset-host.com and ns2.sunset-host.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain to one web host or another.

The Need of Reliable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will obtain different web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you get with a web hosting package. If you have a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you require a stable hosting vendor that will deliver a fast and stable web hosting service.
