Cheap Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you demand so as to launch a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your online portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet different services, and you demand them both in order to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a certain number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may include more stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with one company and obtain the hosting service from another, although many companies provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from the same website hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.hosting.geniuscloud.us and ns2.hosting.geniuscloud.us, for instance. The website hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one company or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will get a number of services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish email mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being able to set up electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a website hosting account. If you manage a business website – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a trustworthy web hosting corporation that will offer a reliable and stable hosting service.
