Low-Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you demand in order to run a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two related, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have a running website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it consists of 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain 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 spell of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve other requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting corporations offer both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from a single web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each host has at least two name servers - ns1.cloud7.com.au and ns2.cloud7.com.au, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to modify the name server records and point the domain to one hosting firm or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being online and being permitted to create e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most significant options that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business online portal – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. That is why you need a trustworthy hosting service provider that will offer a dependable and stable website hosting service.
