Half-Priced Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are two things you demand so as to run an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is basically the disk storage space on a server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet separate services, and you need both of them so as to have an operational web portal.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between one and ten years. They may impose more requirements in relation to the registrant.
Domain Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will show the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with one company and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting companies provide both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from a single CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.webtroniclife.net and ns2.webtroniclife.net, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to modify the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting company or another.
The Demand for Reliable website hosting Services
Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive several services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being allowed to use emails with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting package. If you administer a corporate web site – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a stable provider that will provide a dependable and stable hosting service.
