Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two things you require so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will open your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you demand them both in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it comprises 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may contain more prerequisites in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting vendors provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one single hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each web host has at least 2 name servers - ns1.eusuperhost.eu and ns2.eusuperhost.eu, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting supplier or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain various web services. The most vital one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being permitted to create mails with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you host a business web portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a reliable hosting provider that will offer a fast and stable web hosting service.
