Affordably Priced Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names
There are 2 features you demand so as to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you require them both to have a functioning site.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include more specifications in relation to the registrant.
Domain Name Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from one web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.rootedwolfvps.com and ns2.rootedwolfvps.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.
The Demand for Trustworthy Website Hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being allowed to set up mail accounts with your domain are the two most important options that you get with a web hosting package. In case you have a business site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. That's why you require a reliable web hosting distributor that will supply a reliable and stable website hosting solution.
