Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two things you demand in order to open a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is inherently the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the site files will be placed, plus several more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two linked, yet different services, and you require them both in order to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select 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 fixed stretch of time between one and ten years. They may involve additional stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting service providers provide both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.poloniaserver.net and ns2.poloniaserver.net, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being enabled to set up email box accounts with your domain are the two most important things that you get with a website hosting account. If you manage a business online portal – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. Therefore you need a reliable hosting provider that will supply a dependable and steady website hosting service.
