Affordable Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two items you need in order to set up a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting package, which is principally the storage space on a server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you need them both in order to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains 2 entities – a top-level domain name (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 name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose more prerequisites in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with one company and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from one web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting corporation has at least two name servers - ns1.rootedwolfvps.com and ns2.rootedwolfvps.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will receive various online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being enabled to set up mails with your domain are the two most important options that you obtain with a website hosting plan. In case you have a corporate site – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a trustworthy host that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting service.
