Cheap Hosting Plans for Your TLDs

There are two items you need so as to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the data storage space on a server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and 10 years. They may include other stipulations concerning the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting plan where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from one and the same website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.isact.net and ns2.isact.net, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the web hosting server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate site, being online and being permitted to use email accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you obtain with a website hosting plan. If you host a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. That is why you need a trustworthy hosting firm that will deliver a fast and steady web hosting solution.
