Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you require in order to set up an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is basically the hard disk space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them in order to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it includes 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, 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 certain spell of time between 1 and 10 years. They may entail more preconditions with respect to the registrant.

Domain 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 accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting firm has at least 2 name servers - ns1.95dollar.website and ns2.95dollar.website, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web page, being online and being enabled to create mail addresses with your domain name are the two most important things that come with a web hosting account. If you manage a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a trustworthy hosting provider that will provide a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
