Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two entities you require so as to launch an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the disk space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two connected, yet different solutions, and you need both of them in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may contain additional specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a 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 a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one single web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.mnmwebs.us and ns2.mnmwebs.us, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will get a number of services. The most important one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being enabled to create e-mail addresses with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a web hosting account. If you run a business website – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. That's why you demand a dependable host that will provide a dependable and stable website hosting service.
