Cheap Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you need in order to set up a site. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting package, which is fundamentally the storage space on a server where the website files will be situated, plus several more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet separate services, and you require both of them to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will select to be the address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is open for registration, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a fixed span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may have other stipulations in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting account where you have to accommodate it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web portal. You can have a domain registered with a specific company and get the hosting service from another, even though many web hosting providers provide both services and it is more convenient to administer all services from a single website hosting CP tool. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting vendor has at least two nameservers - ns1.zastahosting.com and ns2.zastahosting.com, for example. The hosting CP that you use for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name server records and point the domain to one hosting company or another.

The Demand for Stable web hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting service provider and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive several online services. The most essential one is that the website files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate online portal, being available online and being allowed to create mail address accounts with your domain are the two most fundamental things that you receive with a web hosting package. If you host a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. That is why you require a dependable hosting service provider that will provide a fast and stable website hosting solution.
