Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you require in order to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the disk space on a server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet separate services, and you require both of them to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between one and ten years. They may include more prerequisites with regard to the registrant.

Domain 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 display the web content that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of service providers provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same website hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.flowerstechnologies.com and ns2.flowerstechnologies.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to alter the NS records and point the domain to one service provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Website Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will receive various web services. The most important one is that the site files that you host on the server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web portal, being online and being permitted to use mail accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you get with a hosting package. In case you manage a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a trustworthy service provider that will supply a fast and steady web hosting solution.
