Low-Priced Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two features you require in order to kick off an online portal. 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 web hosting plan, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate services, and you require them both to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose additional stipulations with regard to the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a certain provider and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting vendors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from the same website hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.globalnet-marketing.net and ns2.www.globalnet-marketing.net, for example. The Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Website Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different web services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being allowed to use email address accounts with your domain name are the two most important options that you get with a website hosting package. If you host a corporate online portal – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. For this reason you require a reliable hosting supplier that will supply a dependable and stable hosting service.
