Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you need so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is primarily the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it contains 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between one and 10 years. They may impose additional requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your website. You can have a domain registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.sbnai.net and ns2.sbnai.net, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting supplier or another.

The Demand for Dependable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their web servers, you will receive various web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you have on the web hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being able to create e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you run a business web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a stable host that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
