Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is fundamentally the storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two related, yet separate solutions, and you need them both so as to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it involves two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed 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 fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain other prerequisites in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one and the same web hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.dnacentral.com.au and ns2.dnacentral.com.au, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one company or another.

The Need of Stable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain different online services. The most vital one is that the website files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being allowed to use e-mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that come with a web hosting account. If you host a business site – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. Therefore you require a stable provider that will supply a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
