Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are two features you demand so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your website when you type it in a web browser, and the second one is a web hosting account, which is principally the hard disk storage space on a server where the site files will be located, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 connected, yet separate services, and you demand 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 site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it includes 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a set 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 period of time between 1 and ten years. They may impose other preconditions in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a web browser, it will show the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your web page. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and obtain the hosting service from another, even though lots of hosting vendors offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to handle all services from a single web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to change a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.xephorhostingsolutions.com and ns2.xephorhostingsolutions.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain name offers you the option to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting supplier and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get a number of services. The most essential one is that the website files that you host on the hosting server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being accessible online and being permitted to use e-mails with your domain name are the two most cardinal things that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you own a corporate site – it will represent your business before your website visitors or customers. That's why you need a stable web hosting firm that will furnish a fast and stable web hosting solution.
