The hosted domains feature of a web hosting account refers to the amount of registered domain names that you can add within the same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are two totally different services although a lot of people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration means that you become the owner of a certain domain name, the hosting part is what in fact permits you to have a site as this is where your data and emails are going to be. Because these are 2 different services, you are able to register a new domain with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain will work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. Additionally, it is important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain to a different company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Web Hosting
One of the primary differences between our cloud web hosting plans is the amount of domain addresses which you can host in a single account. Possessing more domain names with functioning sites for them usually means using more server resources, hence the more domain names you intend to host, the more expensive the package. In this way, we give you the opportunity to select a cheaper plan if you want to have just one or several web sites. In the same time, you’re able to upgrade your plan or keep the current one and only add additional slots for hosting more domain addresses inside your existing account, so you'll never be limited by this feature. Regardless of how many domains you host, there's no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it is your decision if you'll also host them or you will direct them to already existing domains using the parking function.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Due to the fact that our Linux semi-dedicated plans are very powerful, we've decided not to set any restriction on the amount of the domains which you can host if you purchase such a plan. This feature is unrestricted by default, and not on demand or following some upgrade, so it's your decision how many domain names you are going to add and how you will use the system resources of your semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are handled through our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel that will allow you to see and manage all hosted domain addresses in one location, erasing the need to go through different accounts as you will have to do with all the other web hosting Control Panels. There is also no restriction how many domain addresses you can register or transfer and it is up to you how many of them you will host in the account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our VPS server packages have no restriction for the amount of domain names you can host whatever the Control Panel that you select during the ordering process. With Hepsia, you will be able to manage all domain names in one place and any new domain name that you register will be hosted automatically on the server without having to do anything manually. If you get the VPS with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you can choose whether a number of domain addresses are going to be accommodated in a single account or if each and every domain will be hosted in its own account since there's no limit how many independent accounts you can create with these two Control Panels. You can register new domain names through the VPS billing area and decide the ones you intend to host and which ones to park and forward.
