Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two items you need in order to start a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them so as to have a working online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, 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 fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve more preconditions in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and receive the hosting service from another, even though many hosting providers provide both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.steeledesignstudio.com and ns2.steeledesignstudio.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one host or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being permitted to use e-mail addresses with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you own a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. That is the reason why you demand a reliable hosting distributor that will furnish a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
