Discounted Hosting Services for Your Domain Names
There are two features you demand so as to have an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is principally the storage space on a server where the site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a working web page.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 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 choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between one and 10 years. They may entail additional specifications when it comes 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 package where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from a single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting supplier has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hostyonder.com and ns2.hostyonder.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain to one provider or another.
The Necessity for Reliable Web Hosting Solutions
Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive a number of services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being allowed to use electronic mails with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you own a business online portal – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable web host that will offer a dependable and stable website hosting solution.
