Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two items you demand so as to start a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting account, which is primarily the disk space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two connected, yet different services, and you require them both to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include more specifications regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting companies provide both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from the same web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.massglobal.us and ns2.massglobal.us, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the possibility to alter the NS records and point the domain to one company or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the web site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being permitted to set up e-mails with your domain are the two most essential things that you receive with a website hosting plan. If you own a corporate site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. For this reason you require a stable hosting service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting service.
