Affordable Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand so as to establish a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of top-level domain names to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve more specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will open the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting service providers offer both services 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 web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.itechconcepts.net and ns2.itechconcepts.net, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the option to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Need of Dependable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will get various web services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being allowed to set up electronic mails with your domain are the two most essential options that you obtain with a website hosting plan. In case you have a corporate website – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a trustworthy hosting service provider that will provide a fast and stable web hosting service.
