Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand in order to set up an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 related, yet different services, and you demand them both so as to have an operational website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may have other requirements with regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting distributors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one and the same website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.hostingdara.com and ns2.www.hostingdara.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain to one web host or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will get various services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being online and being permitted to create email accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a hosting account. If you host a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you require a dependable service provider that will offer a fast and stable web hosting solution.
