Modestly Priced Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you need so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is essentially the disk storage space on a server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two associated, yet different services, and you demand both of them in order to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and ten years. They may entail other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your website. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting companies offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from a single hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.byohosting.com and ns2.www.byohosting.com, for instance. The Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to modify the name servers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Stable Website Hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you have on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails like [email protected] and utilize webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being allowed to set up email mailboxes with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you have a business web portal – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you require a dependable hosting distributor that will provide a fast and stable hosting solution.
