Low-Priced Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to open a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the disk storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it contains two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may include additional preconditions with regard to the registrant.

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting corporations offer both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from one and the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each company has at least two nameservers - ns1.hostmotors.com and ns2.hostmotors.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being able to set up emails with your domain are the two most essential things that you obtain with a web hosting account. In case you own a corporate website – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a stable provider that will supply a fast and steady website hosting service.
