Cheap Hosting Packages for Your TLDs
There are two entities you demand in order to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is basically the storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them so as to have a running web site.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may contain more prerequisites about the registrant.
Domain Name Hosting Solutions
As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of service providers provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.steerwebserver.com and ns2.steerwebserver.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain to one host or another.
The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services
Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different web services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you keep on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to use mails with your domain name are the two most significant options that you obtain with a hosting account. In case you run a business web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting supplier that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
