Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting plan, which is inherently the disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you demand them both to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it includes 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from a single hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.steerwebserver.com and ns2.steerwebserver.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get various online services. The most important one is that the website files that you host on the server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being enabled to create email mailboxes with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you own a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. That is why you need a reliable web hosting company that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting service.
