Affordable Web Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you need in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a server where the website files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between 1 and ten years. They may entail additional preconditions about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one single hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.sreda.top and ns2.sreda.top, for instance. The Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable Web Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you host on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail addresses such as [email protected] and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being allowed to create electronic mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that come with a web hosting package. If you host a business online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That is the reason why you need a trustworthy web hosting provider that will deliver a fast and stable web hosting solution.
