The hosted domains feature of a hosting account indicates the amount of registered domains which you can add in the very 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 ensures that you become the owner of a given domain name, the hosting part is what in fact allows you to have a site since this is where your files and e-mails will be. Since these are two separate 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 as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Additionally, it is extremely important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain to an alternative company and not transferring it.

Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting

Through our Linux shared hosting you are able to host a different number of domains, regardless of whether you register them with our company or through some other service provider. In the event you host only a few domain names, you'll probably use less resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, that will also be cheaper. If you choose to add more domain names to your account eventually, you can add more slots via your website hosting CP and keep the current plan or you can upgrade the entire plan and employ the added system resources for the new domain names. Each of the upgrades takes only a few clicks and is activated instantly. Since registering and hosting a domain name are 2 different things, there isn't any limit how many domains you'll be able to register regardless of the plan you’ve signed up for.

Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers

As our Linux semi-dedicated servers are really powerful, we've decided not to place any restriction on the number of the domains that 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 up to you how many domains you will add and how you'll employ the resources of your semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are handled using our custom Hepsia web hosting CP that will permit you to see and manage all hosted domain names from a single location, removing the need to go through different accounts as you'll have to do with all other hosting Control Panels. There is also no restriction how many domain addresses you can register or transfer and it is your decision how many of them you'll host inside the account.

Hosted Domains in VPS Servers

If you purchase a VPS server solution through our company, you'll be able to host as many domains as you want. You will have your own server, so it is for you to decide how you will utilize its resources. You'll be able to register new domain names through the billing account of your VPS or add domains that you have already registered with a different company. Because we provide 3 website hosting Control Panels for the servers, you will have different alternatives for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a newly registered domain address is hosted automatically on the server and you will control all hosted domains from a single location (i.e. there are no main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you are able to create a separate account for every domain which you want to host on the server. The last option is useful if you want to provide access to your domains to other people.
