Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you need in order to own a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting plan, which is inherently the disk storage space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains 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 10 years. They may impose more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the content that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting vendors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from a single web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting supplier has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.kamilhosting.com and ns2.kamilhosting.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most important one is that the site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a business website, being online and being enabled to set up mail addresses with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a website hosting plan. If you administer a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. That's why you demand a reliable web hosting company that will deliver a fast and stable website hosting solution.
