Cut-Price Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you require in order to launch an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is principally the disk space on a server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two components – 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 Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain registered with a certain provider and get the hosting service from another, although many service providers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from a single Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.d3webhost.com and ns2.d3webhost.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will receive several web services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you have on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web site, being online and being allowed to use e-mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a website hosting plan. In case you administer a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. That's why you need a stable web hosting service provider that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting service.
