Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two items you need in order to have an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is principally the disk storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are two associated, yet different services, and you demand them both in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may involve other specifications concerning the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web content that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting distributors offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle everything from the same web hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.triqul.net and ns2.www.triqul.net, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting supplier or another.

The Demand for Reliable Website Hosting Services

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting firm and is added to their hosting servers, you will get various online services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being allowed to create email accounts with your domain name are the two most essential options that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you manage a corporate site – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you require a reliable web hosting service provider that will offer a fast and steady web hosting solution.
