Reasonably Priced Hosting Plans for Your TLDs

There are two features you require in order to establish a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is inherently the storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two related, yet different solutions, and you require them both in order to have a running web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may entail more requirements about the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting firms offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from the same web hosting Control Panel tool. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each host has at least 2 name servers - ns1.catholicehost.com and ns2.catholicehost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the chance to modify the nameservers and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Dependable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you have on the hosting server will now be shown when you write 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 use webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being permitted to create e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you get with a website hosting account. If you administer a business web portal – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a reliable hosting firm that will offer a dependable and steady website hosting service.
