Low-priced web hosting services for your top-level domain names

There are 2 entities you need in order to host a web page. The first one is a domain name that will show your web site when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a website hosting package, which is primarily the disk space on a web server where the website files will be placed, plus a few more services that come with it. The domain name and the web hosting account are two related, yet different solutions, and you demand both of them so as to have a functioning web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves 2 constituents – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the Top-Level Domain. While you can select the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a finite number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular interval of time between 1 and ten years. They may involve more specifications when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a webspace hosting plan where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a browser, it will display the site files that you host in the account, in other words it will show your site. You can have a domain name registered with one company and get the hosting service from another, even though lots of web hosts provide both solutions and it is more convenient to administer all services from one and the same website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain name registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to modify a certain setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called name server records. Each host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.canvas-shop.co.nz and ns2.canvas-shop.co.nz, for example. The Control Panel that you use 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 Reliable Site Hosting Services

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most essential one is that the web site files that you keep on the web hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish e-mailbox accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business web page, being online and being enabled to set up electronic mails with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you get with a site hosting plan. In case you have a business web site – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. This is the reason why you require a reliable company that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
