Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 items you demand so as to host a site. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk space on a server where the website files will be located, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two interconnected, yet separate services, and you require them both in order to have a functioning site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the website: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is composed of 2 parts – a top-level domain name (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 Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a finite number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain period of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may involve additional prerequisites with respect to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a website hosting package where you have to include it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your web portal. You can have a domain name registered with a particular registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, even though a lot of hosting vendors provide both services and it is more time-saving to handle all services from one website hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are different services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you have to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the so-called name servers. Each hosting corporation has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.www.webplus.com.pk and ns2.www.webplus.com.pk, for instance. The web hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the chance to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Necessity for Trustworthy web hosting Services

The moment 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 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 e-mail address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail user agent to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate web page, being online and being permitted to set up email accounts with your domain name are the two most important options that come with a website hosting account. In case you have a business web page – it will single out your business before your web page visitors or clients. This is why you demand a stable host that will furnish a reliable and steady web hosting service.
