Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two entities you require so as to kick off a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the website files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two associated, yet different solutions, and you need them both so as to have a functioning web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a set 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 certain period of time between one and ten yrs. They may involve more preconditions regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the content that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, although many web hosting companies provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from one website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the 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 host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.wisehostnetwork.com and ns2.www.wisehostnetwork.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the option to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting provider or another.

The Need of Stable website hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get various web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web page, being available online and being allowed to create email address accounts with your domain are the two most important things that you obtain with a web hosting package. In case you host a corporate web site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. That is why you need a reliable web hosting company that will offer a fast and stable website hosting solution.
