Reasonably Priced Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 features you need in order to kick off an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is primarily the hard disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are 2 similar, yet separate solutions, and you require them both to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, 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 name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and 10 years. They may have more specifications when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of service providers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to manage everything from one and the same web hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the website hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name servers. Each hosting vendor has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.ogwebwiz.com and ns2.ogwebwiz.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of web services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to create email address accounts such as [email protected] and avail of webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you have a personal or a business website, being online and being enabled to use email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you obtain with a hosting package. In case you host a corporate web portal – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is the reason why you require a reliable service provider that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting service.
