Low-Priced Hosting Services for Your TLDs

There are 2 things you demand in order to run a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you require both of them so as to have an operational site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may impose additional preconditions regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from the same hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting firm has at least 2 name servers - ns1.igshosting.com and ns2.igshosting.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain to one host or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will receive various web services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being able to create e-mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal options that you obtain with a hosting package. If you manage a business site – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. Therefore you need a trustworthy web hosting company that will deliver a fast and stable website hosting solution.
