Cut-Rate Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are two things you require in order to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is primarily the disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 associated, yet different solutions, and you require both of them in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it contains 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set 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 given span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose more requirements when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from one web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each company has at least two nameservers - ns1.dlinkhost.com and ns2.dlinkhost.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Reliable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being enabled to use email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that you receive with a website hosting plan. If you administer a business site – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is the reason why you need a dependable web hosting supplier that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting service.
