Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two things you require so as to launch a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting package, which is principally the data storage space on a server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 associated, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail additional preconditions 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 account where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of companies provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hostcreativ.com and ns2.hostcreativ.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one service provider or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you own a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being allowed to use emails with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that come with a website hosting account. In case you host a corporate site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you require a trustworthy web hosting provider that will supply a fast and stable hosting service.
