Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you need in order to run a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them so as to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and ten years. They may involve other stipulations with respect to the registrant.

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with one company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain 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 accomplish that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each provider has at least two name servers - ns1.thundersparkweb.host and ns2.thundersparkweb.host, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable website hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will get a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web site, being available online and being enabled to set up electronic mails with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a website hosting package. In case you manage a corporate website – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. That's why you need a stable host that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting service.
