Discounted Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are 2 features you need in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is primarily the storage space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet separate services, and you require both of them in order to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it contains two pieces – a top-level domain name (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 certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs 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 requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to add it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the files that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous web hosting distributors offer both solutions and it is more convenient to manage everything from one website hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.ugottahost.com and ns2.ugottahost.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to modify the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting company or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting corporation and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain a number of web services. The most vital one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being allowed to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you receive with a hosting account. If you own a corporate site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a stable web hosting service provider that will furnish a fast and steady web hosting solution.
