Moderately Priced Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are two things you need in order to host a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk space on a 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 2 connected, yet different services, and you demand both of them to have an operational online portal.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it is composed of 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed interval of time between one and 10 years. They may include more preconditions about the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting providers offer both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one single Control Panel tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each web hosting vendor has at least 2 name servers - ns1.ceruliangrouphost.com and ns2.ceruliangrouphost.com, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the opportunity to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Need of Stable Website Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will obtain several online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create e-mails such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web site, being accessible online and being enabled to set up e-mailbox accounts with your domain name are the two most significant options that you get with a website hosting package. In case you host a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is the reason why you demand a reliable service provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting solution.
