Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you need so as to set up a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is principally the disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you need them both in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it consists of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 years. They may include additional specifications when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosts provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from the same web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.libertywebhost.com and ns2.www.libertywebhost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the option to modify the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being able to create mailboxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that come with a hosting plan. If you own a business site – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That is the reason why you require a reliable web host that will provide a dependable and stable website hosting service.
