Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your TLDs

There are 2 features you require in order to establish an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you need them both to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open 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 particular spell of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have additional stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.geekforcehosting.com and ns2.www.geekforcehosting.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain to one hosting company or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail boxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business online portal, being available online and being enabled to use e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most significant things that you receive with a web hosting account. If you manage a business site – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. For that reason you need a trustworthy web host that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
