Affordably Priced Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are 2 features you demand in order to own a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are two connected, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it includes 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail additional specifications with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your website. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hostingallstar.com and ns2.hostingallstar.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting firm or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the site files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being allowed to set up e-mail accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that you receive with a hosting account. In case you host a business website – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. That's why you need a stable company that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
