Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand so as to establish an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is basically the hard disk storage space on a web hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different solutions, and you require them both in order to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it contains two pieces – 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 top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a set 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 given stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have more preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web page. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many web hosting service providers offer both services and it is more convenient to handle everything from one single web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.kabahost.com and ns2.kabahost.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain gives you the opportunity to change the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting company or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy Web Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will receive different services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being able to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most pivotal things that come with a website hosting plan. If you run a business site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you demand a dependable hosting vendor that will supply a fast and steady website hosting service.
