Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your TLDs

There are two entities you need so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the disk space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 associated, yet different services, and you need both of them in order to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between one and ten years. They may contain more stipulations concerning the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting distributors offer both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from a single web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.3rdcoastdomains.com and ns2.3rdcoastdomains.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting firm or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their servers, you will receive different online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being allowed to create mail address accounts with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that you obtain with a website hosting plan. If you own a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you require a trustworthy web hosting vendor that will offer a fast and steady website hosting solution.
