Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 features you require in order to set up a site. 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 account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you require them both to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between one and ten yrs. They may include additional stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosts provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting firm has at least 2 name servers - ns1.simmetrypcs.net and ns2.simmetrypcs.net, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the chance to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive several web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being enabled to create e-mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a website hosting account. In case you host a business web portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. For that reason you demand a dependable web hosting company that will deliver a reliable and stable web hosting service.
