Cut-Price Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two items you require in order to establish a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is primarily the data storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two similar, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them in order to have a running site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain additional requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with one company and receive the hosting service from another, although many service providers offer both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.greenlithosting.com and ns2.greenlithosting.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will receive various online services. The most important one is that the website files that you accommodate on the server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being able to set up emails with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you have a corporate web portal – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. For this reason you demand a trustworthy hosting corporation that will offer a fast and stable web hosting solution.
