Low-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 entities you need so as to have a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two related, yet separate services, and you require both of them to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes two constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve more stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting providers provide both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from one single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain 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 nameservers. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.okcisp.com and ns2.okcisp.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain name to one service provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate website, being online and being able to create e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting account. In case you own a business web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. Therefore you require a stable hosting service provider that will deliver a fast and stable website hosting service.
