Inexpensive Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs
There are 2 features you need in order to launch a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is essentially the hard disk storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you demand them both in order to have a functioning online portal.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it involves 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may impose other requirements concerning the registrant.
Domain Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your website. You can have a domain registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting distributors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from a single CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.cyanhosts.com and ns2.cyanhosts.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.
The Need of Stable web hosting Services
As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host on the server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business web site, being available online and being permitted to set up e-mails with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a website hosting package. If you own a business web portal – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you need a dependable web hosting company that will provide a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
