Low-Priced Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you require so as to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the data storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet different solutions, and you require both of them to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between one and 10 years. They may contain other requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Web 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 web browser, it will open the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting suppliers provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one single web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.dragonwebhosting.com and ns2.dragonwebhosting.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will receive various services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create emails such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being able to use mailboxes with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you get with a hosting plan. If you have a business online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. Therefore you need a trustworthy hosting service provider that will offer a fast and steady website hosting service.
