Cheap Hosting Plans for Your Top-Level Domains

There are 2 features you demand in order to launch an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will show your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting package, which is essentially the disk storage space on a web server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more features that come with it. The domain and the web hosting account are 2 related, yet different services, and you need them both so as to have a working website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain name can be up to sixty four characters long and it involves two components – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the SLD, 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 set number of TLDs to select from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between one and 10 years. They may impose more prerequisites regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you require a website hosting account where you have to host it. Thus, when you write it in a browser, it will open the website files that you host in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain registered with a specific registrar and receive the hosting service from another, although numerous hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more convenient to manage everything from one and the same website hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, since the domain registration and the website hosting plan are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you need to modify a particular setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called nameservers. Each hosting distributor has at least two nameservers - ns1.iemss.com.my and ns2.iemss.com.my, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain gives you the opportunity to modify the name servers and point the domain to one web hosting distributor or another.

The Need of Stable Website Hosting Services

The moment the domain is pointed to a given domain hosting firm and is added to their web hosting servers, you will get several web services. The most essential one is that the website files that you accommodate on the web hosting server will now be displayed when you write your domain in a web browser. You will also be able to establish electronic mail accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an email client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a business online portal, being online and being enabled to set up mail addresses with your domain are the two most important things that you get with a website hosting package. In case you host a corporate website – it will identify your business before your website visitors or clients. For this reason you need a dependable web hosting corporation that will offer a reliable and steady website hosting service.
