Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two features you require in order to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two related, yet separate services, and you demand both of them in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it involves two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite 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 given span of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include additional prerequisites in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website 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 have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hosting.scriptrider.com and ns2.hosting.scriptrider.com, for example. The Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Reliable Web Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will get a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you keep on the web server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being able to set up email address accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that come with a hosting plan. If you have a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. Therefore you require a trustworthy service provider that will deliver a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
