Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to set up an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting account, which is essentially the data storage space on a 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 account are 2 associated, yet different services, and you require both of them so as to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose 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 contains 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may have other preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain registered with one provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from one and the same web hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.sindibadhost.com and ns2.sindibadhost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain to one host or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most important one is that the website files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being able to set up e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most fundamental things that you obtain with a web hosting plan. In case you run a business web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you demand a dependable web hosting distributor that will supply a fast and steady web hosting solution.
