Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand in order to launch an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 associated, yet different services, and you demand them both so as to have a working web 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 web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it consists of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, 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 name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may contain more specifications when it comes to the registrant.

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting vendors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one web hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.micloudweb.com and ns2.micloudweb.com, for example. The Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the option to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being enabled to create email mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you get with a hosting plan. If you host a corporate online portal – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you require a reliable web hosting distributor that will deliver a fast and steady hosting solution.
