Half-Priced Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you need in order to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is inherently the storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you need them both so as to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name 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 64 characters long and it consists of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, 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 to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between one and ten years. They may have more requirements in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.quiyada.website and ns2.quiyada.website, for instance. The hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Dependable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will get various web services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being able to set up email address accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you manage a business web site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or clients. For that reason you demand a stable web hosting company that will supply a fast and stable web hosting service.
