Reasonably Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you require so as to launch an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is basically the data storage space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them so as to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and receive the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting firms provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.hosting.betterchoiceit.com and ns2.hosting.betterchoiceit.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting company or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain various online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you host on the hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being permitted to create mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most essential things that you get with a hosting plan. If you run a business web site – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. Therefore you require a dependable host that will deliver a dependable and steady hosting solution.
