Discounted Hosting Packages for Your TLDs
There are two things you require in order to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a working web page.
What is a Domain?
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select 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 10 years. They may contain additional requirements concerning the registrant.
Domain Name Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting vendors offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one and the same hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.hosting-store.ihostingdomains.net and ns2.hosting-store.ihostingdomains.net, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the name server records and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.
The Demand for Stable Website Hosting Solutions
The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will receive different web services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you have on the server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to create e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most important options that you receive with a web hosting package. If you run a business website – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or clients. For this reason you require a trustworthy hosting distributor that will supply a dependable and stable hosting service.
