Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 entities you demand in order to open a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is basically the hard disk space on a server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are two associated, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a running web page.

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 sixty four characters long and it includes 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain 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 certain spell of time between one and ten years. They may involve more preconditions in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and get the hosting service from another, even though many hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from a single CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hosting.getdesignonline.com and ns2.hosting.getdesignonline.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable Web Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several web services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a business web page, being online and being allowed to use mail address accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that come with a website hosting plan. In case you host a corporate website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a trustworthy hosting company that will provide a fast and stable website hosting solution.
