The hosted domains feature of a hosting account indicates the number of registered domain names that you could include in the same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are two different services although 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 part is what in fact allows you to have a website as this is where your files and email messages will be. Because these are 2 separate services, you are able to register a new domain name with one company and host it with another by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain address shall work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. Additionally, it is extremely important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain to a different company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Website Hosting
The cloud website hosting plans that we offer allow you to host a different number of domains. In this way, you can choose what plan to get and how much to pay depending on your requirements. If you decide to host more domain names in the future than the amount the current package allows you to, you can quickly upgrade the entire plan or keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domain names. If you want to employ the registration services of some other company, you'll be able to see the name servers 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 like to have everything in one spot, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain addresses you can register/transfer inside your account regardless of the hosting plan that you have selected. Then you can decide if you will host them or you will forward them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you'll be able to host as many domain addresses as you want no matter if you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We've decided not to restrict this feature given that the semi-dedicated plans are quite powerful and the load they are able to handle is fairly high, therefore it wouldn't sound right to be able to host a limited number of domains. The accounts are managed via the Hepsia CP, which will give you total control over your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a couple of mouse clicks and everything is done easily and intuitively, unlike rival Control Panels where you may even have to switch between different accounts to manage a couple of domain names. In case you register a new domain name on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS
Our VPS packages can be employed to host unrestricted amount of domain addresses regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you choose during the ordering process. You will have an abundance of system resources at your disposal, so you can choose how many domains will use them. If you get the VPS with DirectAdmin or cPanel, you can create an individual hosting account for each domain name and we don't have a restriction for the amount of accounts that you can create. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel, all domains shall be handled through one account i.e. there will not be a main domain address and add-on domains as with the other Control Panels. The second option might be more convenient if you don't need to provide access to a particular domain to other people and you do not want to switch between accounts to manage the domain addresses that you host on the server. Additionally, any new domain name you register through Hepsia shall be hosted automatically on the server without doing anything manually afterwards.
