Budget Hosting Solutions for Your Domains
There are 2 entities you demand in order to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is essentially the data storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you need them both so as to have a running web site.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain 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 particular interval of time between one and ten years. They may involve more stipulations regarding the registrant.
Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with one registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer all services from the same hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least 2 name servers - ns1.skydragonhosting.com and ns2.skydragonhosting.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.
The Need of Stable web hosting Services
The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various web services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you have on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business website, being online and being enabled to use email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that come with a web hosting account. If you own a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a stable service provider that will offer a reliable and steady web hosting service.
