Cheap Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are two entities you need in order to have a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 similar, yet different services, and you demand both of them so as to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it consists of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between 1 and ten years. They may contain additional requirements with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package 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 show your site. You can have a domain registered with a certain registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosts provide both services and it is more time-saving to administer everything from one single web hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to alter a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each host has at least 2 name servers - ns1.kiaran.com and ns2.kiaran.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one web host or another.

The Demand for Dependable Hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different services. The most vital one is that the website files that you keep on the server will now be exhibited when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mail box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you run a personal or a business web site, being online and being allowed to set up mail accounts with your domain name are the two most important things that you obtain with a website hosting plan. In case you have a corporate website – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. Therefore you demand a reliable hosting corporation that will furnish a fast and steady web hosting service.
