Affordably Priced Web Hosting Services for Your Domains

There are 2 features you need in order to launch a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is fundamentally the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be located, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are 2 interconnected, yet different services, and you demand them both to have a running website.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select 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 includes 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between one and ten years. They may have additional specifications with regard to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to add it. In this way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the web content that you have in the account, in other words it will display your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a specific company and receive the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting firms provide both services and it is more convenient to administer everything from one single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name 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 have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each hosting firm has at least two nameservers - ns1.chostit.com and ns2.chostit.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain name gives you the chance to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get a number of online services. The most vital one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being permitted to use e-mailboxes with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you get with a web hosting account. If you run a business online portal – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you demand a stable host that will deliver a reliable and steady web hosting service.
