Affordable Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two features you require in order to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the data storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 related, yet different services, and you demand both of them to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web site: 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 above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve additional stipulations about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting vendors offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.dmrhosting.com and ns2.dmrhosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Reliable Web Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting corporation 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 accommodate on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business website, being online and being able to create email mailboxes with your domain name are the two most essential options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you have a corporate website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. Therefore you require a reliable hosting supplier that will supply a dependable and stable hosting solution.
