Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you require so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the storage space on a web server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you need them both to have an operational site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between one and ten yrs. They may entail additional requirements in regard to the registrant.

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of service providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.omega-hosting.com and ns2.omega-hosting.com, for example. The Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive various online services. The most important one is that the web site files that you have on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web site, being available online and being permitted to use email boxes with your domain name are the two most essential options that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you run a business online portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a dependable hosting service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting service.
