Cheap Hosting Services for Your Top-Level Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand in order to launch a web site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is basically the storage 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 two similar, yet different services, and you need them both in order to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of two parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and 10 years. They may have more preconditions with respect to the registrant.

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to add it. Thus, when you type it in a browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a certain company and receive the hosting service from another, even though numerous providers provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one website hosting CP tool. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least 2 name servers - ns1.beyondreal.host and ns2.beyondreal.host, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain name offers you the option to change the name server records and point the domain name to one host or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting service provider and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain several online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you host on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you have a personal or a corporate web portal, being online and being able to use email mailbox accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that come with a hosting account. If you have a corporate web portal – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. That's why you require a reliable hosting service provider that will supply a dependable and stable website hosting solution.
