Low-Cost Hosting Services for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you need in order to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the data storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a functioning web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may entail additional stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting distributors provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one single website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least two name servers - ns1.store.extec.cm and ns2.store.extec.cm, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to modify the name server records and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most essential one is that the site files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being permitted to use mail addresses with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a website hosting package. If you own a business online portal – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you need a dependable web hosting distributor that will supply a dependable and stable website hosting solution.
