Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you require in order to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the disk storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two similar, yet different services, and you need both of them in order to have a functioning website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of 2 entities – 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. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve additional prerequisites about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting corporations offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain 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 achieve that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.vitohosting.com and ns2.vitohosting.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain name to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will receive several services. The most vital one is that the site files that you keep on the hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being allowed to create email mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most significant options that come with a hosting account. In case you have a business web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. For that reason you demand a trustworthy web hosting service provider that will supply a fast and stable web hosting solution.
