Reasonably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you demand so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two linked, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a functioning online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have other specifications concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting vendors offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one single hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.3rdcoastdomains.com and ns2.3rdcoastdomains.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the chance to change the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will receive several services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being allowed to set up mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you obtain with a website hosting package. If you run a business online portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you demand a trustworthy provider that will provide a fast and stable web hosting solution.
