The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account denotes the number of registered domains which you can include within the same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are 2 different services although some people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a certain domain address, the hosting part is what actually allows you to have a web site as this is where your files and emails are going to be. Since these are two different services, you can register a new domain name with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain shall work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. It is also very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to an alternative company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Website Hosting
One of the main differences between our website hosting packages is the amount of domain names you can host in a single account. Owning more domains with working websites for them means using additional server resources, so the more domain addresses you intend to host, the more expensive the package. In this way, we offer you the opportunity to select a less expensive plan if you'd like to have just one or several websites. In the same time, you will be able to upgrade the plan or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domains in your existing account, so you'll never be restricted by this feature. No matter how many domains you host, there is no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it's your choice if you will also host them or you will direct them to already existing domains via the parking function.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you'll be able to host as many domains as you wish no matter whether you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We have decided not to limit this feature because the semi-dedicated plans are quite powerful and the load they're able to handle is quite high, so it wouldn't sound right to be able to host a fixed number of domains. The accounts are controlled using the Hepsia CP, that will provide you with complete control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain address with a few clicks and everything is done very easily and intuitively, as opposed to rival Control Panels where you may even have to switch between separate accounts to control a couple of domain names. If you register a new domain address on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
If you purchase a VPS server package from our company, you'll be able to host as many domain names as you want. You will have your own server, therefore it's your choice how you will use its resources. You will be able to register new domain names through the billing account of your VPS or add domain names which you have already registered with another company. Since we offer 3 web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you'll have different alternatives for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a freshly registered domain address is hosted automatically on the server and you'll handle all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there are not any main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you can create a separate account for each domain name you want to host on the server. The aforementioned option is practical if you would like to provide access to your domains to other people.
