Affordably Priced Hosting Plans for Your Domains
There are two entities you demand in order to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the data storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you need them both to have a running web site.
What is a Domain?
A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs 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 other requirements about the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from a single web hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.sites.ionlineyou.com and ns2.sites.ionlineyou.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain to one service provider or another.
The Need of Dependable web hosting Solutions
The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will receive different web services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create email boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being allowed to use email address accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that come with a website hosting plan. If you manage a corporate web portal – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a dependable host that will provide a dependable and stable hosting solution.
