The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account denotes the amount of registered domain names which you could add within the same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are 2 different services although many people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain name, the hosting part is what actually permits you to have a website as this is where your data and emails are going to be. Because these are 2 different services, it is possible to 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 using the same company. Additionally, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to a different company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Website Hosting
The cloud website hosting plans we provide allow you to host a different number of domain names. That way, you can pick what package to purchase and how much to spend depending on your needs. If you decide to host more domains later on than the number the current plan allows you to, you can easily upgrade the entire plan or keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domain names. If you decide to employ the registration services of some other company, you'll be able to see the name servers you need to set for your domains so as to direct them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the Control Panel on our end. If you want to have everything in one location, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain names you can register/transfer inside your account whatever the hosting plan that you have selected. You'll be able to decide if you'll host them or you'll direct them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
Due to the fact that our Linux semi-dedicated plans are really powerful, we have decided not to place any limit on the amount of the domain addresses that you can host if you purchase such a plan. This feature is unlimited by default, not on demand or following some upgrade, so it's up to you how many domains you'll add and how you will use the system resources of your semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are controlled through our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that will permit you to see and manage all hosted domain addresses in one location, removing the need to go through different accounts as you will have to do with all the other web hosting Control Panels. There's also no restriction how many domains you'll be able to register or transfer and it's your decision how many of them you'll host inside the account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS servers can be employed to host unrestricted amount of domains regardless of the hosting CP that you choose during the ordering process. You will get an abundance of resources available, so you can choose how many domains will use them. If you get the VPS with DirectAdmin or cPanel, you can create an independent hosting account for each domain and we don't have a set limit for the amount of accounts you can create. If you choose our Hepsia CP, all domain names shall be managed from a single account i.e. there will not be a main domain name and add-on domains as with the other Control Panels. The second alternative might be more convenient if you do not need to give access to a certain domain to other people and you do not want to switch between accounts to manage the domain names that you host on the server. Furthermore, any new domain name that you register via Hepsia will be hosted automatically on the server without you having to do anything manually afterwards.
