Inexpensive Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are two things you demand in order to run a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is primarily the disk space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you require them both to have a functioning website.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may contain additional stipulations in regard to the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from the same website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan 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 modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.revhosting.biz and ns2.revhosting.biz, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain to one host or another.
The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services
As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most essential one is that the site 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 create e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate website, being available online and being able to use e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most essential options that you obtain with a website hosting account. In case you own a corporate web portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a reliable web hosting provider that will supply a fast and steady hosting solution.
