Half-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you demand so as to have a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting plan, which is basically the storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate services, and you require both of them to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to pick 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 one and ten years. They may impose other stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one and the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.articservers.com and ns2.www.articservers.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the name server records and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will obtain various web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being enabled to use mails with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that come with a web hosting account. In case you have a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. Therefore you need a reliable web hosting supplier that will provide a fast and stable web hosting service.
