The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account denotes the amount of registered domains which you could add in the same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are 2 different services although many people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a certain domain address, the hosting part is what in fact permits you to have a web site as this is where your data and e-mails are going to be. As these are 2 different services, you are able to register a new domain name with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name will work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. Also, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain to another company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Hosting
The hosting solutions we offer enable you to host a different amount of domain addresses. This way, you can choose what plan to acquire and how much to spend based on your requirements. If you want to host more domains at some point than the number the current package permits you to, you can easily upgrade your entire plan or even keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domain addresses. If you choose to employ the registration services of another company, you will be able to see the name servers you have to set for your domains so that you can point them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the CP on our end. If you like to have everything in 1 location, however, there is no limit on the number of domain names that you can register/transfer as part of your account no matter the hosting plan that you have chosen. Then you could decide if you'll host them or you will forward 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 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 as the semi-dedicated plans are quite powerful and the load they can handle is pretty high, therefore it would not add up to be able to host a fixed amount of domains. The accounts are managed using the Hepsia Control Panel, which will provide you with total control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain address with a few clicks and everything is done easily and intuitively, as opposed to alternative Control Panels where you might even have to switch between different accounts to control a couple of domain addresses. In the event you register a new domain on our end, it will be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers can be used to host unrestricted amount of domain addresses irrespective of the hosting Control Panel that you select during the ordering process. You'll get an abundance of resources at your disposal, so you can decide how many domains are going to use them. If you get the VPS with cPanel, you will be able to create a separate hosting account for each and every domain address and we do not have a restriction for the number of accounts you can create. If you select our Hepsia CP, all domain addresses are going to be handled from one account i.e. there will not be a main domain and add-on domains like with the other Control Panels. The second option may be more convenient if you do not need to grant access to a particular domain to other people and you do not want to switch between accounts to handle the domain addresses that you host on the server. In addition, any new domain that you register using Hepsia will be hosted automatically on the server without doing anything manually afterwards.
