Cheap Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are 2 entities you require in order to run a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a web hosting plan, which is basically the disk storage space on a web hosting server where the web page files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 related, yet different services, and you need them both in order to have an operational web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain name can be up to 64 characters long and it consists of two pieces – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned illustration, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the SLD of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given period of time between one and ten years. They may impose other requirements concerning the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting package where you have to include it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, in other words it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with a certain company and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more time-saving to administer all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you have to alter a certain setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name server records. Each hosting company has at least two nameservers - ns1.www.agrawebhosting.com and ns2.www.agrawebhosting.com, for instance. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting service provider or another.

The Need of Reliable website hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting provider and is added to their web servers, you will obtain several online services. The most crucial one is that the website files that you host on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to set up e-mailbox accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to tackle them. Whether you run a personal or a corporate website, being online and being permitted to create email accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal options that you obtain with a website hosting account. If you manage a business web site – it will represent your business before your visitors or customers. For that reason you require a reliable provider that will deliver a dependable and steady web hosting service.
