Discounted Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains
There are 2 entities you demand so as to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a server where the web site files will be situated, plus a few more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet different services, and you demand both of them to have a working online portal.
What is a Domain?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve more prerequisites regarding the registrant.
Domain Hosting Solutions
As the domain name is just a hostname 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 web site files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though a lot of service providers offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package 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 have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name server records. Each web hosting company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.shop.stokewifi.com and ns2.shop.stokewifi.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.
The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Solutions
As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting supplier and is added to their web servers, you will receive a number of web services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create email mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web site, being available online and being enabled to set up e-mail addresses with your domain are the two most essential options that come with a hosting package. In case you manage a corporate web site – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. This is why you need a stable web host that will deliver a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
