Cut-Price Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names
There are two entities you demand in order to establish a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a functioning web portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it contains 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, 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 period of time between 1 and ten years. They may include more preconditions when it comes to the registrant.
Domain Name Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage all services from one single Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.exaquad.xyz and ns2.www.exaquad.xyz, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.
The Demand for Trustworthy Hosting Services
The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will receive several web services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate website, being available online and being enabled to use email mailboxes with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you get with a web hosting package. In case you have a business website – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. Therefore you need a dependable hosting provider that will supply a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
