Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 things you need in order to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will open your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting package, which is inherently the hard disk storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting package are two related, yet separate solutions, and you demand them both to have a working web portal.

What is a Domain?

We offer more than 130 tlds

Prices Starts From: $8.50 /yr

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it comprises 2 parts – 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 choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting plan where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web page files that you have in the account, in other words it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a specific provider and receive the hosting service from another, although a lot of hosting firms offer both services and it is more time-saving to administer all services from a single website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name server records. Each web hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.vistawebhost.com and ns2.vistawebhost.com, for instance. The Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Demand for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting supplier and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you host on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you have a personal or a business web page, being available online and being permitted to use mail accounts with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that come with a web hosting package. In case you own a corporate online portal – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you demand a dependable company that will provide a fast and steady website hosting solution.
