Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you need so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting plan, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of two constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may entail more preconditions when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle everything from a single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.hostfraser.com and ns2.hostfraser.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting corporation and is added to their web servers, you will receive several services. The most vital one is that the website files that you have on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web site, being available online and being able to set up e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most important things that come with a website hosting package. If you own a business web page – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. For that reason you demand a dependable hosting distributor that will provide a dependable and steady hosting service.
