Affordably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two entities you require in order to set up a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the hard disk space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet different services, and you demand both of them in order to have a running site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of 2 constituents – 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. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered 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 interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

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 such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting corporation has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.fastcloudserver.net and ns2.www.fastcloudserver.net, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting supplier or another.

The Necessity for Stable Web Hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being online and being allowed to create e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you get with a web hosting package. In case you manage a business site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you need a stable host that will provide a dependable and steady hosting solution.
