Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 things you need so as to host a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is inherently the hard disk space on a web server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it comprises 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose 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 yrs. They may involve other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from one web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.goohosting.es and ns2.goohosting.es, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the option to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being enabled to use mail addresses with your domain name are the two most essential things that come with a website hosting account. In case you host a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you need a reliable hosting company that will deliver a reliable and stable website hosting service.
