Budget Hosting Packages for Your Domains

There are two items you require in order to kick off an online portal. The first one is a domain name that will open your website when you type it in a web browser, and the other one is a website hosting plan, which is inherently the disk storage space on a hosting server where the web site files will be placed, plus several more features that are included in it. The domain name and the web hosting package are two related, yet separate services, and you need them both in order to have a working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric combination that you will choose to be the address for the web page: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it includes 2 parts – a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the above example, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the top-level domain name. While you can choose the Second-Level Domain of the domain to be anything that is available for registration, there is a set number of TLDs to choose from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a certain stretch of time between 1 and 10 years. They may involve other prerequisites about the registrant.

Domain Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you demand a website hosting plan where you have to accommodate it. In such a way, when you type it in a web browser, it will open the website files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a given company and get the hosting service from another, although lots of hosting suppliers offer both services and it is more user-friendly to manage all services from one single hosting Control Panel interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are different services, you have to point the domain name to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To accomplish that, you need to alter a specific setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named NS records. Each host has at least 2 nameservers - ns1.primehost.com.ng and ns2.primehost.com.ng, for instance. The website hosting CP that you use for your domain name gives you the chance to change the nameservers and point the domain name to one hosting company or another.

The Demand for Dependable Website Hosting Solutions

As soon as the domain name is pointed to a particular domain hosting vendor and is added to their web hosting servers, you will obtain various services. The most crucial one is that the web site files that you host on the web server will now be exhibited when you type your domain name in a browser. You will also be able to establish mail address accounts like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to manage them. Whether you manage a personal or a corporate website, being accessible online and being permitted to use email box accounts with your domain name are the two most pivotal things that you receive with a website hosting plan. In case you administer a business online portal – it will identify your business before your web site visitors or customers. That is why you need a reliable hosting supplier that will furnish a fast and stable website hosting solution.
