Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you need in order to own a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting account, which is basically the data storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two connected, yet different services, and you demand both of them so as to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and ten yrs. They may have more specifications about the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting corporations offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting account 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 have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hostbefikar.com and ns2.hostbefikar.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting firm or another.

The Necessity for Stable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being able to create e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most significant options that you receive with a web hosting package. In case you have a business online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. For that reason you need a trustworthy hosting distributor that will provide a reliable and steady website hosting service.
