Reasonably Priced Hosting Services for Your Domain Names

There are two entities you demand in order to have a site. The first one is a domain name that will display your web page when you write it in a browser, and the other one is a website hosting account, which is essentially the hard disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting account are two similar, yet separate services, and you require them both so as to have an operational web site.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will pick to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it is made of two entities – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the second-level domain name, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can select the SLD of the domain name to be anything that has not been registered yet, there is a fixed number of Top-Level Domains to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a given span of time between one and 10 years. They may involve more preconditions in relation to the registrant.

Domain Hosting Services

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a web hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will show the web page files that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your site. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosts provide both solutions and it is more time-saving to manage everything from one and the same website hosting CP interface. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to change a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each company has at least 2 name servers - ns1.rnrmediahost.com and ns2.rnrmediahost.com, for example. The website hosting Control Panel that you utilize for your domain offers you the possibility to change the nameservers and point the domain to one hosting distributor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable web hosting Services

Once the domain is pointed to a concrete domain hosting company and is added to their web hosting servers, you will receive various web services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you keep on the server will now be available online when you write your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail client to handle them. Whether you have a personal or a business website, being online and being enabled to use e-mail boxes with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that come with a web hosting account. In case you own a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting supplier that will furnish a fast and steady website hosting solution.
