Registering a domain and hosting one is often mistaken by many people to be one and the same thing. They're in fact two different services - the domain name registration is the actual name and nothing else, while the hosted domains feature refers to the number of already registered domain names that you can accommodate within the same website hosting account and have site data and emails for them. Your sites will work in exactly the same way no matter whether the domain names are registered and hosted at the same place or are registered with company A and directed to company B. Simply registering a domain address without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not allow you to have a site unless you host this domain address in some account so that records for it are set up and it starts opening the information from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Web Hosting
One of the main differences between our shared web hosting plans is the number of domains which you can host within a single account. Having more domains with working websites for them usually means employing more server system resources, hence the more domain names you want to host, the more expensive the package. This way, we give you the possibility to choose a less expensive plan if you want to have just 1 or a couple of websites. In the same time, you can always upgrade the plan or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domain names inside your existing account, so you will never be restricted by this feature. No matter how many domains you host, there is no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it's up to you if you will also host them or you'll direct them to already existing domains using the parking feature.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Since our Linux semi-dedicated hosting are quite powerful, we have now decided not to place any restriction on the number of the domain addresses which you can host if you get such a plan. This feature is unlimited by default, not on demand or after some upgrade, so it is your choice how many domain addresses you are going to add and how you will use the resources of the semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are managed via our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel which will enable you to see and manage all hosted domain names in one place, eliminating the need to go through different accounts as you will have to do with all the other hosting Control Panels. Additionally, there is no limit how many domains you are able to register or transfer and it's up to you how many of them you are going to host inside the account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Web Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server solution through our company, you're able to host as many domain names as you would like. You'll have your own server, so it is up to you how you will employ its resources. You can register new domain names via the billing account of your VPS or add domain addresses that you have already registered with a different company. Since we offer you three web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you are going to have different alternatives for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a freshly registered domain is hosted automatically on the server and you are going to handle all hosted domains in one location (i.e. there are not any main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you can create a separate account for every domain address that you want to host on the server. The aforementioned option is helpful if you would like to allow access to the domains to other people.
