Reasonably Priced Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you demand in order to start a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is primarily the disk storage space on a web server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two connected, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both so as to have a running web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between 1 and 10 years. They may have additional stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting suppliers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one and the same website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.bitlife.host and ns2.bitlife.host, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most important one is that the site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate site, being accessible online and being able to create mails with your domain are the two most significant things that come with a website hosting plan. In case you own a corporate site – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. That's why you demand a reliable hosting vendor that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting service.
