Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you demand so as to host an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the disk space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you require both of them in order to have an operational site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may include more preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though many companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.dornanhosting.com and ns2.dornanhosting.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Stable Website Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being allowed to set up mail addresses with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that come with a web hosting account. In case you administer a business site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a stable host that will provide a reliable and stable hosting service.
