Affordably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you require so as to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is primarily the data storage space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet separate solutions, and you require both of them to have a running web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name 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 symbols long and it consists of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and ten years. They may entail other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosting service providers offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one Control Panel interface. Either way, since 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 modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting supplier has at least two nameservers - ns1.kamilhosting.com and ns2.kamilhosting.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name gives you the option to change the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting service provider and is added to their web servers, you will get several web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being permitted to use electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you manage a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For this reason you need a stable host that will provide a fast and steady web hosting solution.
