Affordably Priced Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are 2 entities you require so as to open a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a hosting package, which is principally the data storage space on a web server where the web page files will be situated, plus a few more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two connected, yet separate solutions, and you require them both in order to have a functioning website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given interval of time between one and ten yrs. They may entail additional requirements with respect to the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Solutions

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will exhibit the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your website. You can have a domain name registered with a given registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosts offer both services and it is more convenient to manage all services from a single website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called NS records. Each web hosting distributor has at least two name servers - ns1.iwindows.net and ns2.iwindows.net, for example. The web hosting Control Panel that you have for your domain name offers you the chance to alter the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Stable Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you host on the web hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and avail of webmail or an e-mail client to handle them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate site, being available online and being able to set up e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most cardinal options that you receive with a website hosting account. If you have a business website – it will single out your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a stable web hosting distributor that will supply a fast and steady web hosting service.
