Half-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 entities you demand in order to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may entail additional preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosts offer both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from a single Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.nelsonshosting.com and ns2.nelsonshosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the chance to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being able to create electronic mail accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a hosting account. If you run a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. For that reason you need a dependable hosting service provider that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting service.
