Affordable Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names
There are 2 features you demand so as to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the hard disk space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you demand them both so as to have an operational web page.
What is a Domain?
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain 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 certain spell of time between one and 10 yrs. They may impose additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.
Domain Hosting Solutions
As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package 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, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting firms offer both services and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one web hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.dalihost.com and ns2.dalihost.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one company or another.
The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being available online and being permitted to create email address accounts with your domain name are the two most important options that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you have a corporate site – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a stable web hosting distributor that will deliver a dependable and steady hosting solution.
