Half-Priced Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs
There are 2 things you require in order to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate solutions, and you demand both of them in order to have a running website.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (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 choose the second-level domain name of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set number of TLDs to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve more requirements when it comes to the registrant.
Domain Hosting Services
As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a certain provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting corporations provide both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from one single website hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.www.flexilinuxhost.com and ns2.www.flexilinuxhost.com, for example. The Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to modify the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.
The Necessity for Stable web hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will obtain different services. The most vital one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you own a business site – it will represent your business before your visitors or clients. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting vendor that will offer a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
