Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two items you demand in order to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you need them both to have a functioning online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and ten years. They may have more requirements in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from a single website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each hosting company has at least two name servers - ns1.www.myhypercloud.com and ns2.www.myhypercloud.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Reliable Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will receive various online services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you have on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business website, being available online and being enabled to use mailboxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a website hosting account. If you host a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is why you demand a trustworthy host that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
