The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account refers to the amount of registered domain names which you can include within the same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are two different services although a lot of people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration signifies that you become the owner of a given domain address, the hosting aspect is what really permits you to have a site because this is where your files and email messages will be. Because these are 2 different services, you can register a new domain with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain is going to work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Also, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain to an alternative company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
The shared hosting solutions we offer enable you to host a different amount of domains. In this way, you can pick what plan to get and how much to spend based on your needs. If you want to host more domains at some point than the amount the current package allows you to, you can quickly upgrade your entire package or even keep the same one and only add more slots for hosted domain names. If you choose to use the registration services of a different company, you'll be able to see the name servers you need to set for your domains so as to direct them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the CP on our end. If you like to have everything in 1 spot, however, there is no limit for the number of domain names that you can register/transfer inside your account regardless of the hosting package that you have selected. You'll be able to decide if you'll host them or you will forward them to other existing domains.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you'll be able to host as many domain addresses 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, so it would not sound right to be able to host a limited number of domain addresses. The accounts are managed through the Hepsia Control Panel, that will provide you with complete control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a couple of mouse clicks and everything is done effortlessly and intuitively, in contrast to rival Control Panels where you may even have to switch between separate accounts to manage a couple of domain names. In case you register a new domain name on our end, it will be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS hosting plans can be used to host unrestricted amount of domain addresses regardless of the hosting CP that you choose during the ordering procedure. You'll get an abundance of system resources available, so you can choose how many domains will use them. If you get the VPS with DirectAdmin or cPanel, you will be able to create an independent hosting account for every domain address and we don't have a restriction for the amount of accounts you can create. If you select our Hepsia CP, all domain addresses will be managed through one account i.e. there will not be a main domain and add-on domains as with the other Control Panels. The second option may be more convenient if you don't need to grant access to a particular domain to other people and you don't want to switch between accounts to handle the domain names that you host on the server. Furthermore, any new domain that you register via Hepsia shall be hosted automatically on the server without doing anything manually after that.
