Cut-Rate Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you demand so as to establish a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web hosting 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 plan are two interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them in order to have a working online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve other specifications with regard to the registrant.

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you host in the account, in other words it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting providers offer both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each company has at least two name servers - ns1.dornanhosting.com and ns2.dornanhosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Demand for Stable Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting distributor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being available online and being allowed to use email box accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that you get with a web hosting account. If you run a corporate website – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is why you demand a trustworthy provider that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
