Low-Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two entities you need in order to start a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting account, which is primarily the disk space on a hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate services, and you demand them both so as to have a working site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain spell of time between one and ten yrs. They may impose more requirements in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each hosting provider has at least two name servers - ns1.semprocorp.com and ns2.semprocorp.com, for example. The hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Need of Dependable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you accommodate 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 such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web site, being accessible online and being allowed to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most important options that you get with a website hosting package. In case you administer a business online portal – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. For that reason you demand a reliable hosting distributor that will provide a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
