Moderately Priced Hosting Packages for Your Domain Names

There are 2 things you require so as to kick off a web site. 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 web hosting plan, which is principally the storage space on a web hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are 2 linked, yet different services, and you need them both so as to have an operational website.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it comprises 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the aforementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and ten years. They may have additional specifications concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to accommodate it. In this way, when you type it in a browser, it will open the site files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many providers provide both services and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one and the same hosting CP user interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to change a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting supplier has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.incorpmediahosting.com and ns2.incorpmediahosting.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the possibility to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Demand for Reliable web hosting Solutions

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting firm and is added to their web servers, you will get different online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you host on the web server will now be displayed when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being online and being allowed to create email addresses with your domain name are the two most essential options that you receive with a website hosting plan. If you run a business web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. For this reason you need a stable service provider that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting solution.
