Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you require so as to own a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the data storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between one and ten years. They may involve additional requirements about the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosts offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the 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 nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.geminicoresolutions.com and ns2.geminicoresolutions.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you keep on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being online and being allowed to set up electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most essential options that you obtain with a website hosting account. If you manage a business web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you need a dependable hosting distributor that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting service.
