Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two things you require so as to own a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is essentially the disk space on a web hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet different solutions, and you need them both in order to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of top-level domain names to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may entail other requirements in regard to the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting vendors offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from the same website hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.okcisp.com and ns2.okcisp.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting firm or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their servers, you will receive different online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish emails like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to set up email box accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you run a business online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you require a reliable hosting vendor that will deliver a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
