Cheap Web Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand in order to launch a web page. The first one is a domain name that will display your website 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 web server where the web page files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 linked, yet different services, and you need both of them in order to have a running online portal.

What is a Domain?

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 instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it is made of two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and 10 years. They may entail other prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you write it in a browser, it will show the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific provider and get the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting vendors provide both solutions and it is more convenient to handle everything from a single web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the website hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting corporation has at least 2 name servers - ns1.clearwaterhostbahamas.com and ns2.clearwaterhostbahamas.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain name gives you the possibility to modify the name server records and point the domain to one service provider or another.

The Need of Stable web hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different services. The most important one is that the web site files that you accommodate on the server will now be displayed when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailboxes like [email protected] and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate web site, being online and being able to use e-mail boxes with your domain are the two most pivotal options that you receive with a web hosting account. If you manage a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your visitors or customers. This is the reason why you need a reliable provider that will furnish a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
