Affordable Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you require so as to start a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two associated, yet separate services, and you require them both so as to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and ten years. They may have more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from a single CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.sciservers.com and ns2.sciservers.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to alter the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Need of Trustworthy Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive a number of services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the web server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business web site, being online and being allowed to use mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you own a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. For that reason you need a stable service provider that will furnish a dependable and stable website hosting service.
