Cut-Rate Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are two features you need so as to start an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the hard disk space on a hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick 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 domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and ten years. They may have more preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting corporations offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.w3cloud.us and ns2.www.w3cloud.us, for example. The CP that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive several services. The most important one is that the web site files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate website, being available online and being permitted to set up email accounts with your domain name are the two most significant things that come with a website hosting account. In case you administer a corporate site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a dependable web hosting provider that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting service.
