Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two items you demand in order to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a functioning web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two parts – 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 finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose more stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname 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 exhibit the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting vendors offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one single website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website 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 need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.cloudyely.com and ns2.cloudyely.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable Web Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will get a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being allowed to use email address accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you obtain with a web hosting plan. If you host a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. Therefore you demand a dependable hosting distributor that will provide a dependable and stable hosting solution.
