Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two features you require so as to start a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the data storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten years. They may involve additional stipulations concerning the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosts offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from a single Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web host has at least two name servers - ns1.nm-ict.com and ns2.nm-ict.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the chance to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable Website Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you have on the hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish emails like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business website, being available online and being allowed to set up email mailboxes with your domain name are the two most essential things that you receive with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate website – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. For this reason you require a dependable provider that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting service.
