Low-Price Hosting Services for Your TLDs
There are two things you require so as to have a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting account, which is basically the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different solutions, and you require both of them to have a running website.
What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises two parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, 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 top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may contain additional prerequisites in relation to the registrant.
Domain Hosting Services
As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting account where you have to include it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, although many hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one web hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.dcowebify.com and ns2.dcowebify.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the possibility to change the name server records and point the domain to one web host or another.
The Necessity for Stable Hosting Services
As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will receive several online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you have on the web server will now be shown when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a business web page, being available online and being allowed to set up mail addresses with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that come with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business online portal – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a dependable web hosting service provider that will supply a reliable and steady web hosting solution.
