Low-Cost Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you require so as to run a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two associated, yet separate solutions, and you require them both to have an operational web 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 web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve more stipulations concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting firms provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.theclearhost.com and ns2.theclearhost.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to change the NS records and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most important one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being permitted to create email accounts with your domain are the two most essential things that you receive with a web hosting package. In case you run a corporate website – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you require a stable hosting firm that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting service.
