Cheap Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two entities you demand so as to establish a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your web site when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a web hosting account, which is essentially the disk storage space on a server where the site files will be situated, plus a few more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting plan are 2 connected, yet different solutions, and you demand them both to have an operational website.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric name that you will choose to be the web address for the web portal: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to 64 symbols long and it involves 2 components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can pick the SLD of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a certain number of TLDs to choose from. The TLDs can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain span of time between 1 and ten years. They may entail more specifications in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the content that you have in the account, i.e. it will display your online portal. You can have a domain registered with one provider and obtain the hosting service from another, although many hosting suppliers offer both solutions and it is more convenient to handle all services from a single website hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain name to the server where it will be added as hosted. To achieve that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain name - the commonly named NS records. Each service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.murnhost.com and ns2.murnhost.com, for example. The website hosting CP that you utilize for your domain offers you the chance to alter the nameservers and point the domain to one web hosting company or another.

The Demand for Reliable Hosting Solutions

The moment the domain is pointed to a certain domain hosting vendor and is added to their hosting servers, you will obtain a number of online services. The most important one is that the web page files that you keep on the web server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish email address accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and utilize webmail or an email client to administer them. Whether you manage a personal or a business site, being online and being allowed to set up e-mail box accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental things that you get with a website hosting plan. In case you administer a business online portal – it will identify your business before your visitors or clients. Therefore you require a reliable company that will furnish a reliable and stable web hosting service.
