Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you need in order to host an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is essentially the disk space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet separate services, and you need both of them so as 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 site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain name registered with one company and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of hosts offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.www.ezedomain.com and ns2.www.ezedomain.com, for instance. The Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the chance to alter the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being enabled to use email mailboxes with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you manage a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a stable hosting vendor that will deliver a reliable and stable hosting solution.
