Affordable Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you require in order to start a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is principally the disk space on a hosting server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two associated, yet different services, and you require both of them so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between one and 10 yrs. They may contain additional specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting providers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from one and the same CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.smartpurplecloud.com and ns2.smartpurplecloud.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting service provider and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most vital one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being able to create electronic mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you have a business site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you need a stable hosting provider that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting service.
