Affordable Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you demand in order to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet different services, and you require them both to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain additional prerequisites concerning the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.nm-ict.com and ns2.nm-ict.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive several web services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mails like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being able to use email mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you get with a web hosting plan. If you administer a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. That is why you require a stable web hosting firm that will furnish a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
