Affordably Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names
There are 2 features you require in order to run a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet different services, and you require them both so as to have an operational website.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it includes 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include more preconditions regarding the registrant.
Domain Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will show your website. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from the same hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting supplier has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.menmineshosting.com and ns2.menmineshosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain to one host or another.
The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Services
The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various services. The most important one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a business online portal, being online and being permitted to create mailboxes with your domain name are the two most important options that you get with a web hosting package. If you administer a business web site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. Therefore you demand a reliable web hosting service provider that will furnish a reliable and steady hosting solution.
