Modestly Priced Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two items you require in order to set up an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting plan, which is basically the storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet separate solutions, and you need them both to have a running site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it contains 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may impose more requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your online portal. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting suppliers provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one single website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting supplier has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.tugoats.com and ns2.tugoats.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the chance to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Need of Dependable website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting distributor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain different services. The most important one is that the site files that you host on the web server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate website, being available online and being permitted to use mail accounts with your domain are the two most significant things that come with a web hosting package. In case you have a business web portal – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or clients. That is the reason why you require a dependable web hosting vendor that will provide a dependable and stable web hosting service.
