Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you require in order to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is principally the storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include additional stipulations regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.virtualnix.com and ns2.virtualnix.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the opportunity to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most important one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to create e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most essential things that come with a web hosting account. If you own a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a reliable company that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting service.
