Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two features you demand in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten years. They may include more stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web site. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each provider has at least two name servers - ns1.bestpchaven.com and ns2.bestpchaven.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting firm or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will receive a number of web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being allowed to set up mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a hosting package. If you manage a business website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. Therefore you require a stable web hosting vendor that will furnish a reliable and stable website hosting service.
