Budget Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 entities you need in order to own a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk space on a server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you need them both to have a functioning website.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may entail additional requirements in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting companies provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one and the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.practicalservers.com and ns2.practicalservers.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one company or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you keep on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business web page, being accessible online and being allowed to set up e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most essential things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you host a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. That's why you require a dependable hosting company that will deliver a fast and steady web hosting service.
