Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand in order to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is basically the data storage space on a hosting server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet separate services, and you need them both to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (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 SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may entail additional prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle everything from one and the same website hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.lightcloudhosting.com and ns2.lightcloudhosting.com, for instance. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain a number of services. The most essential one is that the site files that you keep on the server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being enabled to create email addresses with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a website hosting package. If you host a business web site – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. Therefore you need a stable service provider that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting service.
