Cheap Hosting Plans for Your TLDs

There are two features you need so as to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is primarily the disk space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two linked, yet different services, and you need them both to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten years. They may have other preconditions in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from a single web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.intriguehosting.com and ns2.intriguehosting.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the possibility to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting firm or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain various online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to use e-mail addresses with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a website hosting plan. If you own a business website – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is the reason why you require a reliable web hosting firm that will supply a reliable and stable website hosting solution.
