Low-Cost Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are two features you require in order to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet different services, and you need both of them so as to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, 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 certain interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may have more stipulations about the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting service providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain 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 - the so-called name servers. Each web hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.hosting.axonbi.com and ns2.hosting.axonbi.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Stable Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their servers, you will get several web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being permitted to use emails with your domain are the two most cardinal things that come with a web hosting plan. If you run a business web site – it will represent your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a trustworthy provider that will provide a fast and steady web hosting service.
