Modestly Priced Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains
There are 2 features you need so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is principally the storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet different solutions, and you require them both in order to have a functioning online portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may have more requirements about the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous service providers provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.glomulser.com and ns2.www.glomulser.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.
The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions
The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will get different services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you keep on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being enabled to set up e-mail address accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you get with a web hosting package. If you have a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. For this reason you require a stable hosting company that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting service.
