Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you need in order to host a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include other specifications concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting companies provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.desk-top-hosting.com and ns2.desk-top-hosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting firm or another.

The Need of Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various services. The most important one is that the web site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being able to create electronic mails with your domain name are the two most essential things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you run a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For that reason you require a stable hosting service provider that will provide a dependable and stable hosting solution.
