The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account indicates the amount of registered domain names which you can add in the very same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are 2 completely different services although some people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting part is what actually permits you to have a site since this is where your data and email messages are going to be. Because these are 2 independent services, you can register a new domain with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name is going to work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Also, it is extremely important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to a different company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Web Hosting
The cloud web hosting plans that we provide permit you to host a different number of domains. In this way, you can choose what package to purchase and how much to pay depending on your requirements. If you choose to host more domain addresses later on than the amount the current package permits you to, you can easily upgrade your entire plan or even keep the same one and only add more slots for hosted domain addresses. If you choose to employ the registration services of a different company, you will be able to see the name servers that you have to set for your domains in order to direct them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the CP on our end. If you prefer to have everything in one location, however, there's no limit for the number of domain addresses you can register/transfer within your account whatever the hosting plan you have picked. You'll be able to decide if you will host them or you'll direct them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to host as many domain addresses as you want no matter whether you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We have decided not to limit this feature given that the semi-dedicated plans are quite powerful and the load they're able to handle is fairly high, so it wouldn't sound right to be able to host a limited amount of domains. The accounts are controlled through the Hepsia Control Panel, that will present you with complete control over your hosted domains. You can add a new domain name with a few mouse clicks and everything is done quickly and intuitively, unlike alternative Control Panels where you may even have to switch between separate accounts to handle a couple of domain addresses. In the event you register a new domain address on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS
If you buy a virtual private server plan from our company, you're able to host as many domain addresses as you wish. You will have your own server, therefore it's up to you how you will use its resources. You'll be able to register new domain addresses via the billing account of your VPS or add domain addresses that you have already registered with a different company. Because we offer you 3 web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you will have different options for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a newly registered domain is hosted automatically on the server and you'll control all hosted domains in one location (i.e. there aren't any main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you can create a separate account for every domain which you want to host on the server. The last option is practical if you want to provide access to the domains to other people.
