Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand in order to set up a web portal. 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 plan, which is basically the data storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a working website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one and the same website hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.islehosting.com and ns2.islehosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the chance to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting company or another.

The Need of Trustworthy Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being allowed to create mails with your domain are the two most significant options that come with a web hosting package. In case you own a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable web hosting distributor that will offer a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
