Affordable Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are two entities you require in order to establish a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet separate services, and you need both of them in order to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it contains two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may entail other preconditions when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous providers provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from one hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan 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 have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.misx-network.net and ns2.misx-network.net, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Need of Dependable Website Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being permitted to set up electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you own a business site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. That's why you need a trustworthy web hosting vendor that will deliver a fast and steady website hosting service.
