Modestly Priced Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 features you demand in order to establish a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate services, and you demand them both so as to have a working web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain other preconditions with regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one website hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.helioshost.com and ns2.www.helioshost.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one host or another.

The Need of Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create mails like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being allowed to use email box accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you receive with a web hosting account. If you run a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. Therefore you demand a stable web hosting supplier that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
