Low-Cost Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 features you require so as to launch a website. The first one is a domain name that will show your online portal when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting package, which is principally the hard disk space on a server where the web site files will be located, plus several more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting plan are two interconnected, yet different services, and you require them both in order to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, 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 finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may include more requirements about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the web site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your website. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting providers offer both services and it is more time-saving to manage all services from a single web hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.pixalogy.net and ns2.pixalogy.net, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to alter the name servers and point the domain to one hosting corporation or another.

The Necessity for Stable website hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail box accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being able to use mail addresses with your domain are the two most significant options that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you host a corporate online portal – it will single out your business before your website visitors or customers. For this reason you need a dependable company that will supply a reliable and stable web hosting service.
