Cheap Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you need so as to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the data storage space on a web server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two similar, yet separate services, and you demand them both to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include additional prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from a single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.webhostingdorks.com and ns2.www.webhostingdorks.com, for instance. The hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one host or another.

The Demand for Reliable Hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being able to set up mail address accounts with your domain are the two most essential things that come with a web hosting plan. If you have a corporate web portal – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. For that reason you need a dependable hosting provider that will provide a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
