The hosted domains feature of a web hosting account refers to the number of registered domain names that one can include in the very same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are 2 totally different services even though many people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration signifies that you become the owner of a certain domain address, the hosting aspect is what actually enables you to have a website since this is where your data and emails will be. Since these are 2 different services, you'll be able to register a new domain address with one company and host it with another one by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain is going to work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. Also, it is extremely important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain name to an alternative company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Shared Website Hosting
The shared website hosting plans we provide allow you to host a different amount of domains. This way, you can choose what package to get and how much to pay depending on your needs. If you choose to host more domains in the future than the amount the current package permits you to, you can easily upgrade the whole plan or keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domains. If you want to use the registration services of a different company, you'll be able to see the name servers that you have to set for your domains so as to point them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the Control Panel on our end. If you prefer to have everything in one location, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain names you can register/transfer as part of your account whatever the hosting package that you have selected. Then you can decide if you'll host them or you will forward them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
As our semi-dedicated plans are really powerful, we've decided not to place any restriction on the number of the domain addresses that you can host if you purchase such a plan. This feature is unrestricted by default, not on demand or after some upgrade, so it is your decision how many domain names you will add and how you will employ the system resources of the semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are managed via our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel that will enable you to see and manage all hosted domains in one place, erasing the need to go through different accounts as you'll need to do with all other web hosting Control Panels. There's also no restriction how many domain names you'll be able to register or transfer and it is up to you how many of them you will host in the account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
If you buy a VPS server package from our company, you're able to host as many domain names as you would like. You'll have your own server, so it is for you to decide how you will employ its resources. You'll be able to register new domains from the billing account of your VPS or add domains that you've already registered with another company. Since we provide three hosting Control Panels for the servers, you are going to have different alternatives for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a newly registered domain is hosted automatically on the server and you will handle all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there are no main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you can create a separate account for every domain name which you want to host on the server. The abovementioned option is practical if you wish to provide access to the domains to other people.
