Affordably Priced Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two things you demand so as to run a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the disk space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, 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 to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain more requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from a single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.woow.host and ns2.woow.host, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the name server records and point the domain to one hosting supplier or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get several services. The most essential one is that the site files that you keep on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being able to set up emails with your domain name are the two most significant things that you get with a hosting package. If you administer a corporate website – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you need a reliable web host that will furnish a fast and steady web hosting service.
