Affordably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names
There are 2 entities you require in order to host a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 associated, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational online portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The top-level domain names 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 requirements when it comes to the registrant.
Domain Web Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of companies provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from one single website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting company has at least two name servers - ns1.loybhosting.com and ns2.loybhosting.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.
The Necessity for Reliable web hosting Solutions
Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will obtain various web services. The most important one is that the website files that you have on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being permitted to use email addresses with your domain name are the two most significant options that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you run a corporate site – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. That is why you need a dependable web hosting distributor that will offer a fast and steady website hosting solution.
