Low-Cost Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you need in order to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is basically the disk space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two related, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a running site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between 1 and 10 years. They may impose more preconditions regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many hosting corporations offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage all services from the same web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.www.bestpaidhosting.com and ns2.www.bestpaidhosting.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Stable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web page, being available online and being allowed to create e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most significant things that you receive with a web hosting plan. If you have a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That's why you require a stable hosting distributor that will furnish a dependable and stable hosting service.
