Cut-Price Hosting Plans for Your TLDs
There are two things you need so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is basically the data storage space on a server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different services, and you demand both of them to have an operational website.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between one and ten years. They may have additional specifications in relation to the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Services
As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting service providers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer all services from the same web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.flexhosted.net and ns2.flexhosted.net, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain to one company or another.
The Need of Reliable Hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being allowed to use e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal things that come with a web hosting package. If you own a corporate site – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you require a dependable provider that will provide a dependable and stable website hosting solution.
