Low-Price Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you demand in order to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet different services, and you require them both in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail more requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from a single web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.hostleonard.com and ns2.www.hostleonard.com, for instance. The hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain to one host or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most vital one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web page, being accessible online and being enabled to use email address accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you have a corporate website – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. Therefore you require a trustworthy company that will supply a fast and stable website hosting service.
