Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you need so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the disk storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and ten years. They may have additional specifications with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your site. You can have a domain registered with a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosts provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.tokataka.com and ns2.tokataka.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to alter the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting company or another.

The Demand for Dependable Web Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you host on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mails such as [email protected] and avail of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to create e-mails with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you get with a web hosting account. If you own a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That's why you need a dependable hosting company that will supply a fast and stable web hosting solution.
