Cheap Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you need so as to launch a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet different services, and you must have both in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it consists of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for any time between 1 and ten years. They may include other stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting providers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one single website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each service provider has at least two name servers - ns1.thewholeinternet.net and ns2.thewholeinternet.net, for example. The Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one company or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting corporation and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being allowed to use mail addresses with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that come with a web hosting plan. If you own a business website – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable hosting supplier that will supply a dependable and steady web hosting service.
