Inexpensive Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two features you need so as to run a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two related, yet separate services, and you demand them both so as to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between one and 10 yrs. They may include additional requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate 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 web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting providers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.tripleohosting.com and ns2.tripleohosting.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name gives you the option to alter the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable Hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting service provider and is added to their web servers, you will get several web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being enabled to use e-mail box accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that come with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is why you demand a stable hosting corporation that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting service.
