Cheap Hosting Plans for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you need in order to start a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two associated, yet different solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves two pieces – 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 TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may have other requirements in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting providers provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting firm has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.oofinity.com and ns2.oofinity.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business web site, being available online and being allowed to create mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most significant things that you obtain with a hosting plan. In case you own a business site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For this reason you require a stable hosting provider that will supply a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
