Half-Priced Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you demand in order to host an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the data storage space on a server where the website files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate services, and you need both of them 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 web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains 2 entities – 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 top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and 10 years. They may have other prerequisites about the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one and the same Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.sunset-host.com and ns2.sunset-host.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain name to one service provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their servers, you will get several services. The most vital one is that the website files that you have on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a business web site, being accessible online and being allowed to set up e-mail accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal things that come with a website hosting package. In case you own a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is why you need a reliable hosting provider that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting service.
