Reasonably Priced Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you need so as to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is basically the disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet different services, and you need them both so as to have a running site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 years. They may have other specifications with respect to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.outraged-hosting.com and ns2.outraged-hosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Reliable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several services. The most important one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up emails such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being available online and being able to use electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you obtain with a website hosting account. In case you administer a business web page – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you require a stable provider that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting service.
