Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 features you require in order to open a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it includes 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have other prerequisites concerning the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name 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 achieve that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each provider has at least two name servers - ns1.marktelservers.com and ns2.marktelservers.com, for example. The CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Stable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several web services. The most vital one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being able to use mail address accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you get with a hosting account. In case you have a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you require a trustworthy company that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting service.
