Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you need in order to have a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the data storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it involves two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, 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 is available for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and ten years. They may contain other prerequisites concerning the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting firms provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one and the same hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.hosting.betterchoiceit.com and ns2.hosting.betterchoiceit.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the chance to modify the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting firm or another.

The Need of Trustworthy web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being online and being enabled to use mail accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that come with a web hosting plan. If you manage a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. For this reason you require a trustworthy web hosting company that will offer a fast and stable web hosting solution.
