Moderately Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you need so as to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is principally the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet different solutions, and you need them both to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of TLDs 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 10 years. They may have more preconditions with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web content that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of companies provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from a single web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.omega-hosting.com and ns2.omega-hosting.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Stable Website Hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you keep on the hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web portal, being online and being allowed to use e-mail box accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a website hosting plan. If you administer a business web page – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. For this reason you need a stable web hosting corporation that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
