Moderately Priced Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 items you need in order to start a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you write it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is primarily the data storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet different services, and you need them both to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it consists of 2 pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain interval of time between 1 and ten yrs. They may contain additional requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting package where you have to host it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the files that you host in the account, in other words it will exhibit your website. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many hosting providers offer both services and it is more user-friendly to handle everything from one and the same CP GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting firm has at least two name servers - ns1.xephorhostingsolutions.com and ns2.xephorhostingsolutions.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the possibility to change the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy website hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting vendor and is added to their servers, you will receive different web services. The most essential one is that the site files that you have on the web server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to establish mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a business web site, being accessible online and being allowed to set up electronic mail accounts with your domain are the two most cardinal things that you get with a website hosting package. If you have a corporate website – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable hosting corporation that will furnish a reliable and steady website hosting service.
