Cut-Rate Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you require in order to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet separate services, and you demand them both in order to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten years. They may have other specifications in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting providers offer both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from one single website hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.delvahosting.com and ns2.delvahosting.com, for example. The hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the option to change the NS records and point the domain to one web host or another.

The Demand for Stable Web Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being permitted to use mails with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you administer a business web site – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a reliable hosting firm that will deliver a fast and stable hosting service.
