Discounted Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two features you need in order to open a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the data storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two similar, yet different services, and you need them both to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed 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 given spell of time between one and 10 years. They may have more preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each company has at least two nameservers - ns1.04host.com and ns2.04host.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy Website Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will get a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business web page, being available online and being enabled to use e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that come with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a corporate website – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. This is the reason why you need a trustworthy hosting supplier that will deliver a fast and steady hosting service.
