Affordable Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you need in order to set up a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may entail other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your website. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from a single hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because 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 achieve 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 name servers - ns1.hostcheetah.net and ns2.hostcheetah.net, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Reliable website hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will receive several web services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being enabled to create e-mails with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you obtain with a website hosting package. If you have a corporate site – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a trustworthy web hosting supplier that will offer a fast and stable web hosting service.
