Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you demand so as to own a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two related, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve additional preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the site files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one and the same website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.vista8online.com and ns2.vista8online.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the option to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you host on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being allowed to set up e-mail accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a hosting plan. If you host a business online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a stable web hosting company that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting service.
