Inexpensive Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs
There are two things you demand so as to have a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you need them both so as to have an operational web site.
What is a Domain?
A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, 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 to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve additional requirements regarding the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.domainsandhosting.visionsbiz-online.com and ns2.domainsandhosting.visionsbiz-online.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the chance to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one service provider or another.
The Necessity for Dependable Website Hosting Solutions
Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different web services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being enabled to create email boxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that you receive with a website hosting package. If you manage a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a trustworthy hosting service provider that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
