Affordably Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two things you need in order to own a web site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the hard disk space on a web server where the website files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different solutions, and you require them both in order to have a running site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a fixed number of TLDs to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and ten years. They may have other preconditions concerning the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to host it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web site. You can have a domain registered with one provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle 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 hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.saints-hosting.com and ns2.saints-hosting.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the option to modify the name server records and point the domain name to one service provider or another.

The Need of Reliable Hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web page, being accessible online and being able to use email address accounts with your domain name are the two most significant things that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you have a business web portal – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you need a reliable web hosting distributor that will offer a fast and stable website hosting service.
