Half-Priced Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you require so as to own a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is principally the storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set 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 stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include additional stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, 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 display your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with one company and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous companies offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting service provider has at least two name servers - ns1.gaywebsource.com and ns2.gaywebsource.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain to one company or another.

The Necessity for Stable Website Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive several services. The most essential one is that the website files that you accommodate on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being accessible online and being able to use mailboxes with your domain are the two most important options that you receive with a hosting plan. If you administer a corporate website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you require a reliable hosting supplier that will provide a reliable and steady hosting solution.
