Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two things you demand so as to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the data storage space on a server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you demand them both to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of 2 components – 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 to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain more requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting providers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from a single CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least two name servers - ns1.hosting.elasticis.com and ns2.hosting.elasticis.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one service provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain various services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web page, being online and being enabled to use mail accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that you obtain with a website hosting account. In case you have a business website – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a reliable web hosting vendor that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
