Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you demand in order to own a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is principally the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two related, yet separate services, and you need both of them to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from a single hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.www.helioshost.com and ns2.www.helioshost.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will obtain several web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being enabled to set up mails with your domain are the two most fundamental things that come with a website hosting plan. In case you run a corporate website – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. That's why you require a reliable host that will provide a fast and steady website hosting solution.
