Low-Price Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two entities you need in order to kick off a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is fundamentally the disk space on a web server where the site 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 services, and you need both of them to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve additional preconditions regarding the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting providers offer both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from the same website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting corporation has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.soswebdevelopment.com and ns2.soswebdevelopment.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting company or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will receive several services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business site, being available online and being enabled to create mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you own a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a dependable hosting provider that will furnish a dependable and stable hosting service.
