Modestly Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names
There are 2 entities you require in order to own an online portal. 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 plan, which is basically the storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two similar, yet different solutions, and you demand 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 address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain more prerequisites regarding the registrant.
Domain Name Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage all services from a single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.xoomservers.net and ns2.xoomservers.net, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.
The Necessity for Dependable Web Hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being allowed to create electronic mail accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you get with a hosting package. If you host a business website – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. That's why you need a reliable web hosting firm that will supply a fast and steady website hosting solution.
