Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are two things you require in order to start a web page. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is inherently the data storage space on a web server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 linked, yet separate services, and you need them both in order to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is composed of two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given spell of time between one and 10 years. They may contain more requirements when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting service providers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from the same website hosting Control Panel user interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each company has at least two nameservers - ns1.zbesthosting.com and ns2.zbesthosting.com, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to modify the nameservers and point the domain name to one provider or another.

The Necessity for Reliable Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their web servers, you will get several online services. The most important one is that the website files that you keep on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a business web page, being online and being able to create mailboxes with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you receive 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. That's why you need a reliable web hosting company that will offer a reliable and steady website hosting service.
