Low-Price Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are two things you need so as to kick off a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is basically the disk storage space on a server where the website files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two linked, yet separate services, and you need them both in order to have a running web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve more specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain 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 add it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting distributors provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.merwinservers.net and ns2.merwinservers.net, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the option to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Dependable Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting service provider and is added to their web servers, you will obtain various web services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being available online and being permitted to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a hosting account. If you administer a business web page – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you need a stable web hosting vendor that will supply a dependable and stable hosting solution.
