Moderately Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are 2 entities you require in order to set up a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the disk space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational website.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set 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 period of time between one and 10 years. They may impose other stipulations concerning the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a hosting account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting firms provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.sbitshosting.com and ns2.sbitshosting.com, for example. The hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one company or another.
The Necessity for Reliable web hosting Services
Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most important one is that the site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mails like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being permitted to set up email address accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that come with a website hosting plan. In case you have a business website – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. For that reason you need a stable web host that will deliver a fast and steady web hosting service.
