Low-Cost Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two items you require in order to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 associated, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a functioning online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between one and ten years. They may include additional preconditions when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting providers provide both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.soswebdevelopment.com and ns2.soswebdevelopment.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Demand for Stable website hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will get different services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business site, being online and being permitted to create email addresses with your domain are the two most significant things that you obtain with a hosting account. In case you host a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you require a dependable service provider that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting service.
