Cut-Price Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you demand in order to kick off a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two associated, yet different solutions, and you need both of them to have an operational site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, 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 fixed period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have additional requirements when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous service providers provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage all services from the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web host has at least two name servers - ns1.domainmonkee.com and ns2.domainmonkee.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the chance to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Need of Stable Web Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain different online services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up mail accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that you obtain with a web hosting account. In case you host a business web page – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a stable web hosting distributor that will provide a dependable and steady web hosting service.
