Affordably Priced Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are 2 things you need in order to establish a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is basically the data storage space on a web server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two related, yet different solutions, and you require them both to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and 10 years. They may have more requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a certain provider and get the hosting service from another, although many companies offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.exaquad.xyz and ns2.www.exaquad.xyz, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will receive a number of web services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most essential things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you have a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you require a stable service provider that will deliver a fast and stable web hosting solution.
