Affordable Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 entities you need in order to run a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is basically the disk storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet different services, and you require both of them so as to have a running site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it contains 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose more prerequisites concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.creativewebhost.host and ns2.creativewebhost.host, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you own a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being permitted to use mailboxes with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting plan. If you manage a business site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a dependable service provider that will offer a reliable and stable website hosting solution.
