Cut-Price Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you demand so as to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet different services, and you need both of them to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may include other specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though many hosting corporations provide both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from one website hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.progresshosting.net and ns2.progresshosting.net, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one host or another.

The Need of Dependable Web Hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will get a number of services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting package. In case you have a corporate site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you require a stable web hosting distributor that will supply a dependable and stable web hosting service.
