Low-Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two things you demand in order to set up a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is fundamentally the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two related, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them so as to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises two constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and ten years. They may contain other prerequisites in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your site. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting vendors offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.pacificbyte.com and ns2.pacificbyte.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will get different online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being permitted to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most essential things that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you administer a corporate website – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you require a stable hosting firm that will supply a reliable and stable web hosting service.
