Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 entities you demand in order to open an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web page when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain?

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 comprises two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may involve additional preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous companies offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from the same CP user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.innowebhost.com and ns2.www.innowebhost.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the option to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Need of Stable Website Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being available online and being able to create email mailboxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that come with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business web site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. For that reason you require a reliable hosting distributor that will deliver a dependable and stable website hosting service.
