Reasonably Priced Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you need so as to set up a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your online portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it includes two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between one and 10 years. They may entail more requirements about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain registered with one company and receive the hosting service from another, even though many hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one single web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.ng.suuhost.com and ns2.ng.suuhost.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting supplier or another.

The Need of Stable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you keep on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being online and being enabled to create e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most cardinal things that come with a website hosting package. In case you administer a corporate web page – it will represent your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you require a dependable hosting vendor that will provide a fast and steady web hosting solution.
