Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you need in order to have a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two linked, yet different services, and you require both of them so as to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to select 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 include more specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting service providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.atozwebsolution.com and ns2.atozwebsolution.com, for example. The CP that you have for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the web page files that you have on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to create electronic mails with your domain name are the two most significant things that come with a web hosting package. In case you run a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a reliable hosting corporation that will provide a dependable and steady web hosting service.
