The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account refers to the number of registered domain names that one could add within the exact same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are 2 completely different services even though many people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain name, the hosting aspect is what in fact enables you to have a website considering that this is where your files and email messages will be. As these are 2 independent services, you are able to register a new domain name with one company and host it with another one by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain name will work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. It is also very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain name to another company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Web Hosting
When you use Linux cloud web hosting you are able to host a different number of domains, regardless of whether you register them through our company or using some other provider. If you host only a few domain addresses, you'll likely use less resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, which will be less expensive. If you want to add more domains to your account at some point, you can add extra slots using your web hosting CP and keep the current plan or you can upgrade the whole plan and use the added resources for the new domain addresses. Each of the upgrades requires just a few mouse clicks and is activated immediately. As registering and hosting a domain name are two different things, there's no limit how many domain addresses you are able to register no matter the plan you’ve signed up for.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Each semi-dedicated server that we offer comes with unlimited hosted domains. Regardless of whether you register a number of domains here or you already have them through another company, you can add them in the account on our end with just a few clicks. If you want to obtain a new domain name through our company, it will be hosted automatically inside the account, so you will not need to do anything else but start working on the website for it. All of the hosted domains can be handled with ease in one place via our Hepsia CP. In comparison, if you use rival Control Panels, you will be able to register a domain through one system and host it through another, not mentioning that you have to switch between different accounts to manage a couple of domains. Therefore, Hepsia can save you time and efforts any time you manage your hosted domain names.
Hosted Domains in VPS
If you get a virtual private server plan through our company, you'll be able to host as many domain names as you would like. You'll have your own server, therefore it is your choice how you will employ its system resources. You can register new domain addresses from the billing account of your VPS or add domain names which you have already registered with another company. Because we provide 3 hosting Control Panels for the servers, you'll have different options for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a freshly registered domain name is hosted automatically on the server and you are going to handle all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there are no main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you are able to create a separate account for each domain address that you want to host on the server. The aforementioned option is practical if you want to allow access to your domains to other people.
