Cheap Web Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to launch 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 website hosting account, which is fundamentally the disk space on a hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two connected, yet separate solutions, and you need them both in order to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the online portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it contains 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between one and 10 years. They may contain other preconditions with respect to the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a hosting account where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web page files that you host in the account, in other words it will open your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and obtain the hosting service from another, although many web hosting distributors provide both services and it is more user-friendly to administer all services from a single web hosting CP user interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.magahost.net and ns2.magahost.net, for example. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one web hosting supplier or another.

The Necessity for Reliable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most vital one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to establish email address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an email client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business website, being available online and being allowed to use e-mails with your domain are the two most fundamental options that you receive with a website hosting plan. In case you have a corporate web page – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or customers. This is why you require a stable hosting service provider that will offer a dependable and stable website hosting service.
