Reasonably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to establish a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is fundamentally the storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet different services, and you need both of them in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain 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 given interval of time between one and 10 years. They may involve other stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosts offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one single web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.dimahost.com and ns2.dimahost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the name server records and point the domain name to one provider or another.

The Need of Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several web services. The most important one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being enabled to use e-mail addresses with your domain are the two most significant options that you get with a hosting account. If you host a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. Therefore you require a reliable hosting provider that will supply a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
