Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you require in order to start a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include more specifications with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the content that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and obtain the hosting service from another, although many web hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one web hosting CP GUI. 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 need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.exaquad.xyz and ns2.www.exaquad.xyz, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting firm or another.

The Need of Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will receive different online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being online and being permitted to use e-mails with your domain name are the two most essential options that come with a website hosting account. If you own a business website – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you need a dependable web hosting firm that will provide a fast and steady web hosting service.
