Cut-Price Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you demand in order to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet different services, and you require both of them in order to have a running site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain more specifications with regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your website. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting vendors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one and the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.nnuk.net and ns2.nnuk.net, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Website Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive several services. The most important one is that the website files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being online and being able to set up email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a web hosting plan. In case you administer a business web site – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a stable hosting distributor that will deliver a fast and steady web hosting service.
