Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 things you require in order to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the disk space on a server where the website files will be located, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting package are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you require them both so as to have a functioning online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes 2 pieces – 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 top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain additional specifications when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will open the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each service provider has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.brehost.com and ns2.www.brehost.com, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name offers you the option to modify the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting company or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the site files that you host on the web server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mails like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web page, being accessible online and being allowed to set up electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental things that you get with a web hosting plan. In case you host a corporate web site – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or clients. That is why you need a trustworthy hosting supplier that will furnish a dependable and steady website hosting solution.
