Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 features you demand so as to kick off a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the data storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have a running site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and ten years. They may contain other specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of service providers offer both services and it is more convenient to manage everything from the same CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.eliashosting.com and ns2.eliashosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to modify the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a business website, being online and being permitted to use email address accounts with your domain are the two most important things that you get with a website hosting package. In case you have a corporate web portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you require a dependable hosting service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
