Reasonably Priced Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you require so as to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are two related, yet different services, and you demand them both to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain more prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many companies offer both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from one web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.consultingforge.name and ns2.www.consultingforge.name, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will receive various online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you keep on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business website, being available online and being permitted to create e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a hosting account. If you run a business online portal – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or clients. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting service provider that will furnish a reliable and steady website hosting service.
