Moderately Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are two features you demand so as to launch a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the storage space on a web server where the web site files will be situated, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different solutions, and you demand them both so as to have an operational web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is composed of two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a set number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed stretch of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain more stipulations with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting companies provide both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from a single web hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each web host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.onlineplus.co.nz and ns2.onlineplus.co.nz, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to modify the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting distributor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most vital one is that the 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 email addresses like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate online portal, being accessible online and being able to set up mail addresses with your domain are the two most essential things that you get with a web hosting plan. If you have a business website – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. This is why you need a dependable web hosting supplier that will offer a fast and stable web hosting solution.
