Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you demand so as to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet different services, and you demand both of them in order to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and ten years. They may entail additional specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.dutyfreedomains.com and ns2.dutyfreedomains.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the chance to alter the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable website hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several services. The most vital one is that the website files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business web site, being online and being permitted to use mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you get with a web hosting account. If you have a business web page – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you demand a stable hosting service provider that will offer a dependable and steady website hosting service.
