Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you require so as to have a web site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is inherently the disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two connected, yet separate services, and you need both of them so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between 1 and 10 years. They may include more preconditions in relation to the registrant.

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.aidahost.com and ns2.aidahost.com, for example. The hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the option to change the name servers and point the domain name to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will obtain various services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate site, being online and being permitted to create e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that you get with a web hosting account. If you manage a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting vendor that will offer a reliable and steady website hosting service.
