Half-Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two entities you require so as to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, 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 spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain other requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting service providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.rahservers.eu and ns2.rahservers.eu, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different web services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being allowed to create e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a website hosting account. In case you host a business web site – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a trustworthy web host that will furnish a reliable and stable website hosting solution.
