The hosted domains feature of a hosting account denotes the amount of registered domain names that one can include within the very same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are 2 completely different services even though many people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a given domain address, the hosting aspect is what actually enables you to have a site since this is where your data and emails are going to be. Since these are 2 independent services, you are able to register a new domain with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name shall work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. It's also very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain to an alternative company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Hosting
The cloud hosting solutions we offer permit you to host a different number of domain addresses. In this way, you can pick what plan to get and how much to spend according to your requirements. If you want to host more domain names at some point than the number the current plan allows you to, you can effortlessly upgrade the whole plan or keep the same one and only add more slots for hosted domain addresses. If you want to employ the registration services of a different company, you will be able to see the name servers you need to set for your domains in order to point them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel on our end. If you prefer to have everything in 1 place, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain names that you can register/transfer within your account no matter the hosting plan you have selected. Then you can decide if you'll host any of them or you'll direct them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to host as many domain names as you wish 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 very powerful and the load they're able to handle is pretty high, therefore it would not sound right to be able to host a fixed amount of domain names. The accounts are controlled via the Hepsia CP, that will present you with total control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a few clicks and everything is done quickly and intuitively, as opposed to alternative Control Panels where you may even have to switch between separate accounts to control a couple of domain names. If you register a new domain on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server package through our company, you will be able to host as many domain addresses as you like. You'll have your own server, therefore it is 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 another company. Because we offer 3 web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you are going to 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 manage 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 each domain address which you want to host on the server. The last option is practical if you wish to allow access to your domains to other people.
