Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you require in order to start a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you demand them both so as to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain other preconditions regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting providers provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.cloud.hitashconsults.com and ns2.cloud.hitashconsults.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the option to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Demand for Dependable Web Hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will get several web services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being online and being allowed to use e-mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental things that you obtain with a website hosting plan. In case you administer a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is why you demand a trustworthy hosting company that will offer a fast and steady web hosting service.
