Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two things you need in order to run a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet different solutions, and you require both of them so as to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may have more prerequisites with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with a certain provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosts offer both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from one single website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.cirrushub.com and ns2.cirrushub.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the option to change the name servers and point the domain name 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 hosting servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you have on the hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being enabled to use mail addresses with your domain name are the two most essential things that you obtain with a web hosting plan. If you host a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you need a stable provider that will offer a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
