Moderately Priced Hosting Solutions for Your Domain Names

There are two items you demand in order to own a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is fundamentally the storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two similar, yet different services, and you need them both so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is made of 2 pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between 1 and 10 years. They may contain other requirements regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting account where you have to include it. Thus, when you type it in a web browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will display your web site. You can have a domain name registered with a given provider and get the hosting service from another, even though numerous hosting service providers provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from one hosting CP GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting distributor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.wd4us.com and ns2.wd4us.com, for example. The CP that you have for your domain offers you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Dependable web hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being permitted to create email address accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you get with a web hosting package. In case you run a corporate site – it will single out your business before your visitors or customers. Therefore you need a stable web hosting provider that will provide a reliable and steady web hosting service.
