Discounted Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to have a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is primarily the disk space on a server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may involve more specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with one company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many hosting firms offer both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from the same Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hostingmego.com and ns2.hostingmego.com, for instance. The CP that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Need of Dependable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain various online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being permitted to create electronic mails with your domain are the two most significant things that come with a website hosting account. If you have a business web site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you require a reliable web hosting vendor that will supply a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
