Low-Cost Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two features you require so as to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is inherently the hard disk space on a web server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you need them both in order to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may have additional preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting service providers offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from a single web hosting CP tool. 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 perform that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.suuhost.com and ns2.suuhost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the option to alter the name server records and point the domain to one host or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting firm and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive several online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a business site, being online and being enabled to set up e-mail accounts with your domain name are the two most essential things that you obtain with a web hosting account. If you have a corporate website – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. For that reason you require a reliable hosting firm that will deliver a fast and steady website hosting service.
