There are 2 features you require in order
to launch a web site. The first one is a
domain name that will display your online
portal when you type it in a web browser,
and the second one is a web hosting
account, which is essentially the disk
storage space on a hosting server where
the web site files will be placed, plus a few
more services that come with it. The
domain name and the web hosting plan
are two connected, yet separate services,
and you demand them both to have a
working site.

What is a Domain?

A domain name is the alpha-numeric
name that you will choose to be the web
address for the online portal: my-best-
domain.com, for instance. A domain name
can be up to sixty four characters long and
it is made of 2 entities – a top-level
domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level
Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned
illustration, my-best-domain is the
Second-Level Domain, and .com is the
Top-Level Domain. While you can pick the
SLD of the domain name to be anything
that is free to register, there is a fixed
number of TLDs to pick from. The top-
level domain names can be generic
(gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and
can be registered for a particular stretch
of time between one and ten yrs. They
may include more specifications regarding
the registrant.

Domain Name Web Hosting Solutions

As the domain name is just a hostname
and nothing more than that, you need a
hosting account where you have to
accommodate it. Thus, when you write it
in a browser, it will show the site files that
you have in the account, in other words it
will open your web site. You can have a
domain name registered with a specific
provider and obtain the hosting service
from another, even though lots of web
hosting distributors offer both services
and it is more user-friendly to handle all
services from one single hosting Control
Panel interface. Either way, because the
domain name registration and the website
hosting account 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 alter a specific
setting, or record, of the domain name -
the commonly named NS records. Each
host has at least 2 name servers -
ns1.josidelhosting.com and
ns2.josidelhosting.com, for example. The
Control Panel that you utilize for your
domain name gives you the chance to
change the name servers and point the
domain to one provider or another.

The Need of Reliable web hosting Solutions.
Once the domain name is pointed to a
concrete domain hosting service provider
and is added to their servers, you will get
several services. The most crucial one is
that the website files that you have on the
web server will now be shown when you
write your domain in a browser. You will
also be able to create email mailbox
accounts like name@my-best-domain.com
and avail of webmail or a mail client to
administer them. Whether you run a
personal or a business web site, being
accessible online and being enabled to use
emails with your domain are the two most
significant options that you obtain with a
web hosting package. If you run a business
web site – it will represent your business
before your web page visitors or
customers. Therefore you demand a
dependable hosting company that will
offer a dependable and stable hosting
service.
