Budget Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 things you demand so as to set up a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is primarily the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet different services, and you require both of them so as to have a working web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of 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 name, 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 taken yet, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between one and ten years. They may have additional preconditions with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from the same Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.innovatorhost.com and ns2.innovatorhost.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting firm or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive different services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being permitted to use mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a web hosting account. If you administer a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is why you need a trustworthy web hosting provider that will deliver a reliable and stable web hosting service.
