Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to start a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting package, which is fundamentally the disk space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate services, and you demand them both to have a working online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set 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 stretch of time between 1 and ten years. They may have additional preconditions regarding the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from the same CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web host has at least two name servers - ns1.princetonstar.net and ns2.princetonstar.net, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting firm or another.

The Need of Reliable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain different web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being able to set up mail addresses with your domain are the two most important options that you receive with a web hosting account. If you run a corporate web site – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. Therefore you need a stable web host that will offer a fast and steady website hosting service.
