Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you require so as to kick off a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both so as to have a running web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten years. They may have other prerequisites when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the content that you host in the account, in other words it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.ircmru.com and ns2.www.ircmru.com, for instance. The 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 web host or another.

The Demand for Reliable Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting provider and is added to their servers, you will obtain different services. The most vital one is that the site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up emails such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being able to create email mailboxes with your domain are the two most important options that you obtain with a website hosting package. If you administer a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. That's why you require a dependable hosting service provider that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
