Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you need so as to run a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two connected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both to have a running website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set 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 certain stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include more stipulations about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosts provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each hosting firm has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.vectorprimesystems.com and ns2.vectorprimesystems.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the site files that you have on the server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mail accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that come with a web hosting plan. In case you administer a corporate site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you require a trustworthy hosting service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting service.
