Half-Priced Web Hosting Packages for Your TLDs

There are 2 things you demand so as to launch a site. The first one is a domain name that will open your web page when you write it in a web browser, and the second one is a website hosting plan, which is fundamentally the hard disk storage space on a web server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more services that are included in it. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 interconnected, yet separate services, and you need both of them in order to have a running web page.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four symbols long and it involves 2 parts – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the SLD of the domain to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of top-level domain names to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular span of time between 1 and 10 yrs. They may entail additional stipulations when it comes to the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting account where you have to add it. In this way, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web content that you host in the account, i.e. it will show your web site. You can have a domain registered with a particular registrar and get the hosting service from another, even though a lot of web hosting firms offer both services and it is more convenient to handle all services from the same Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting package are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named name servers. Each web hosting corporation has at least two nameservers - ns1.gobobby.co and ns2.gobobby.co, for instance. The web hosting Control Panel that you use for your domain offers you the opportunity to change the NS records and point the domain name to one hosting supplier or another.

The Need of Reliable Hosting Services

Once the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting supplier and is added to their servers, you will obtain several web services. The most important one is that the web page files that you have on the hosting server will now be accessible when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to set up e-mail box accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and make use of webmail or a mail user agent to manage them. Whether you administer a personal or a business site, being available online and being permitted to create mailboxes with your domain are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a web hosting account. In case you host a corporate web site – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is the reason why you demand a stable provider that will offer a reliable and stable hosting solution.
