Cheap Hosting Services for Your TLDs

There are two features you need in order to run a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web portal when you write it in a browser, and the second one is a hosting account, which is fundamentally the disk space on a web hosting server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are two similar, yet different services, and you need both of them to have an operational site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 symbols long and it includes two pieces – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been taken yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to choose from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between one and ten yrs. They may contain additional prerequisites in regard to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you demand a hosting account where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the website files that you have in the account, in other words it will show your online portal. You can have a domain registered with a particular provider and obtain the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting vendors provide both services and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called nameservers. Each web hosting company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.unlimitedcloud.ca and ns2.unlimitedcloud.ca, for example. The website hosting CP that you have for your domain gives you the possibility to alter the name server records and point the domain name to one hosting provider or another.

The Demand for Reliable Web Hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting distributor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get different online services. The most important one is that the site files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to set up electronic mail accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a corporate web page, being accessible online and being enabled to use email boxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a web hosting package. If you manage a corporate site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or customers. That's why you demand a dependable web host that will supply a reliable and steady website hosting solution.
