Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you need in order to set up a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the hard disk space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet different services, and you demand them both in order to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may entail other stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each web host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.maoghost.com and ns2.maoghost.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one company or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get several web services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being available online and being able to create e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most significant things that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you have a corporate website – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you need a dependable hosting service provider that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting service.
