Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 things you require so as to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate solutions, and you need both of them so as to have a working web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two parts – 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 top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and ten years. They may contain additional requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting service providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from the same web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting supplier has at least two name servers - ns1.wantok.click and ns2.wantok.click, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the name server records and point the domain to one hosting firm or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain various online services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up emails like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being allowed to set up mail addresses with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you get with a website hosting account. If you run a business website – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is the reason why you need a stable hosting firm that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting solution.
