Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two entities you require so as to have an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of two 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 TLD. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and ten years. They may have other prerequisites concerning the registrant.

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web site. You can have a domain registered with a given company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one single website hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain 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 achieve that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting company has at least two name servers - ns1.cheapwebhosting.ltd and ns2.cheapwebhosting.ltd, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting firm or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will get various web services. The most important one is that the web site files that you have on the web hosting server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you have a personal or a business web portal, being available online and being allowed to set up email accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you receive with a web hosting account. If you host a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers.
