Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two entities you need so as to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet different solutions, and you need them both to have an operational site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may have additional stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting service providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one and the same Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.dragonwebhosting.com and ns2.dragonwebhosting.com, for example. The CP that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web page, being accessible online and being able to create email box accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business web site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. Therefore you require a dependable hosting corporation that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
