Low-Price Web Hosting Plans for Your Domain Names

There are two features you require in order to open a website. The first one is a domain name that will display your site when you type it in a browser, and the second one is a web hosting plan, which is principally the hard disk space on a web hosting server where the website files will be placed, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain and the web hosting account are two connected, yet separate services, and you demand both of them in order to have a working web site.

What is a Domain?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for example. A domain can be up to 64 characters long and it involves two components – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a second-level domain name (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can choose the second-level domain name of the domain to be anything that is open for registration, there is a certain number of Top-Level Domains to select from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and 10 yrs. They may involve additional prerequisites in regard to the registrant.

Domain Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a name and nothing more than that, you need a hosting package where you have to host it. In such a way, when you write it in a browser, it will open the content that you host in the account, i.e. it will exhibit your web page. You can have a domain name registered with a certain registrar and get the hosting service from another, although a lot of web hosting companies offer both solutions and it is more user-friendly to administer everything from the same web hosting CP interface. Either way, because the domain registration and the web hosting account are separate services, you have to point the domain to the hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To do that, you have to alter a given setting, or record, of the domain - the so-called NS records. Each hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.ninjihost.com and ns2.ninjihost.com, for example. The web hosting CP that you have for your domain name offers you the option to change the NS records and point the domain to one web hosting provider or another.

The Necessity for Dependable Hosting Services

The moment the domain name is pointed to a given domain hosting company and is added to their hosting servers, you will receive a number of web services. The most crucial one is that the web page files that you accommodate on the hosting server will now be available online when you type your domain name in a web browser. You will also be able to set up email accounts such as name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or a mail client to administer them. Whether you own a personal or a business web site, being accessible online and being allowed to create mails with your domain are the two most significant options that you receive with a web hosting plan. In case you manage a business web site – it will represent your business before your web site visitors or customers. For that reason you demand a trustworthy web hosting vendor that will offer a reliable and stable web hosting service.
