Discounted Web Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you demand in order to establish a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a server where the site files will be placed, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet different solutions, and you require both of them to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick 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 have other stipulations in relation to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will show your site. You can have a domain name registered with one provider and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous web hosting service providers provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one single CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.hostzala.com and ns2.hostzala.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name offers you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive a number of web services. The most important one is that the site files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a business web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to use e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most significant options that come with a website hosting account. If you run a business website – it will single out your business before your visitors or clients. That is the reason why you need a trustworthy hosting company that will supply a fast and steady website hosting service.
