Affordably Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains
There are 2 entities you need so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two similar, yet different solutions, and you need them both in order to have a working web portal.
What is a Domain?
We offer more than 140 tlds
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it involves 2 components – 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. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain other requirements regarding the registrant.
Domain Hosting Solutions
As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting company has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.7greatmediahosting.com and ns2.7greatmediahosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.
The Necessity for Trustworthy Website Hosting Solutions
Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will get various services. The most vital one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being allowed to set up mails with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you get with a website hosting account. If you have a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. That is the reason why you require a reliable web hosting provider that will furnish a dependable and steady web hosting service.
