Registering a domain name and hosting one is sometimes mistaken by many people to be the same thing. They're in reality 2 separate services - the domain address registration is the actual name and nothing more, while the hosted domains feature refers to the number of already registered domain addresses you can accommodate within the same hosting account and have site data and email messages for them. Your websites will function in precisely the same way no matter whether the domain addresses are registered and hosted in one place or are registered with company A and pointed to company B. Simply registering a domain without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not allow you to have a website until you host this domain in some account so that records for it are set up and it starts opening the information from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Website Hosting
One of the differences between our shared website hosting packages is the number of domains that you can host in one account. Having more domain addresses with functioning web sites for them usually means employing more server resources, so the more domain names you intend to host, the more expensive the plan. That way, we offer you the chance to select a cheaper plan if you want to have just one or a few web sites. In the same time, you will be able to upgrade your package or keep the current one and only add more slots for hosting more domain names inside your existing account, so you will never be limited by this feature. Irrespective of how many domains you host, there is no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it is up to you if you'll also host them or you'll direct them to already existing domains via the parking feature.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Since our Linux semi-dedicated packages are rather powerful, we have now decided not to set any restriction on the number of the domains which you can host if you purchase such a plan. This feature is unrestricted by default, not on demand or following some upgrade, it is therefore up to you how many domain addresses you are going to add and how you will employ the system resources of your semi-dedicated hosting account. The plans are handled via our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP which will enable you to see and manage all hosted domain addresses in one place, eliminating the need to go through different accounts as you will need to do with all the other web hosting Control Panels. There is also no restriction how many domain names you'll be able to register or transfer and it's your choice how many of them you'll host in the account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Web Hosting
Our virtual private server plans don't have any restriction for the amount of domains that you can host regardless of the Control Panel that you choose throughout the process of ordering. With Hepsia, you will be able to manage all domain names in one location and any new domain that you register will be hosted automatically on the server without the need to do anything manually. If you acquire the VPS with cPanel, you can decide whether a number of domain addresses are going to be accommodated within one account or if every domain will be hosted in its own account as there is no limit how many separate accounts you can create with these two Control Panels. You're able to register new domain addresses through the VPS billing area and decide which of them you would like to host and which ones to park and forward.
