Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domains

There are two things you require in order to host a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two linked, yet separate services, and you need both of them in order to have a functioning website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes two entities – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of TLDs to pick from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular stretch of time between one and 10 years. They may contain more specifications when it comes to the registrant.

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from a single hosting CP GUI. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each host has at least 2 name servers - ns1.ktx-hosting.com and ns2.ktx-hosting.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name gives you the chance to change the nameservers and point the domain to one service provider or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be shown when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business website, being accessible online and being able to use electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you get with a web hosting package. If you host a corporate online portal – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. This is why you demand a trustworthy web hosting supplier that will provide a dependable and steady website hosting service.
