Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you require in order to have a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the data storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet different services, and you demand both of them so as to have an operational site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed 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 certain period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain more requirements in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosting vendors offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.cxfhost.com and ns2.cxfhost.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain name to one web hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive various services. The most essential one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being permitted to create e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a website hosting plan. If you manage a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. For that reason you require a reliable web hosting service provider that will furnish a fast and stable website hosting service.
