Modestly Priced Web Hosting Solutions for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you need in order to own a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is basically the disk storage space on a web server where the web page files will be placed, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two associated, yet different services, and you require both of them in order to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite 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 period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may have more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with one registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting firms provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.gstartup.agency and ns2.gstartup.agency, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to change the name server records and point the domain to one company or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a specific domain hosting corporation and is added to their servers, you will receive various web services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you host on the server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business online portal, being online and being permitted to create mailboxes with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a web hosting package. In case you manage a business web site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or clients. For this reason you demand a reliable hosting provider that will furnish a fast and stable website hosting solution.
