Low-Cost Web Hosting Solutions for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand so as to own an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will display your website when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the disk space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting package are two linked, yet separate services, and you demand both of them so as to have a running site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose 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 comprises 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the SLD, and .com is the TLD. While you can select the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a fixed number of top-level domain names to select from. The Top-Level Domains can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular spell of time between one and 10 years. They may involve more requirements with regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you require a web hosting plan where you have to include it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will display the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although many web hosting providers offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to handle all services from one single web hosting CP interface. 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 achieve that, you need to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named nameservers. Each company has at least two nameservers - ns1.billixxcloud.com and ns2.billixxcloud.com, for instance. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain name gives you the opportunity to alter the NS records and point the domain name to one web hosting vendor or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting vendor and is added to their web servers, you will get several services. The most important one is that the web site files that you host on the server will now be available online when you write your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create e-mail addresses such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to handle them. Whether you host a personal or a business site, being accessible online and being allowed to create e-mailboxes with your domain are the two most important options that you receive with a hosting package. If you host a business website – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or clients. This is why you demand a stable service provider that will offer a dependable and stable hosting service.
