Cut-Price Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are 2 entities you need so as to kick off a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the storage space on a server where the web page files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you require both of them to have a working online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the website: 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 name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of top-level domain names to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may impose additional prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, although lots of web hosting companies provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from one hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting vendor has at least two name servers - ns1.utbhosting.com and ns2.utbhosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain offers you the chance to change the name servers and point the domain to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to handle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web page, being available online and being permitted to use electronic mail accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you obtain with a website hosting plan. In case you host a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. Therefore you require a dependable web hosting distributor that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting service.
