Low-Priced Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you need in order to set up a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the disk space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet separate services, and you need both of them so as to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite 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 given stretch of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain additional stipulations regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one and the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.sulanahosting.com and ns2.sulanahosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the option to change the NS records and point the domain to one host or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy Website Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will obtain various services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being online and being able to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you receive with a web hosting plan. If you run a business web portal – it will identify your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you demand a reliable hosting vendor that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting solution.
