Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are two things you need so as to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is basically the data storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet separate services, and you need them both so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it involves two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve additional stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same web 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 hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.101hosting.com and ns2.101hosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the possibility to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting supplier or another.

The Necessity for Stable Website Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will receive different services. The most essential one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be available online when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web page, being available online and being permitted to use email address accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a website hosting package. If you manage a business web portal – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. That's why you require a dependable provider that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
