Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you require so as to establish a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is basically the data storage space on a server where the web page files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and ten years. They may include other stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although lots of companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from the same web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.handhonline.co.uk and ns2.handhonline.co.uk, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different web services. The most crucial one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being able to create email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most essential things that come with a website hosting plan. In case you host a business web page – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you require a stable web host that will supply a dependable and stable hosting solution.
