Hosted Domains
What precisely are Hosted Domains? What is the difference between a common domain name and a hosted domain name?
Registering a domain and hosting one is commonly mistaken by many people to be one and the same thing. They're in reality 2 separate services - the domain name registration is the actual name and nothing else, while the hosted domains feature reveals the amount of already registered domain names that one could accommodate within the same hosting account and have site data and emails for them. Your websites will function in exactly the same way no matter if the domains 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 give you ownership, but will not enable you to have a site unless you host this domain name in some account so that records for it are set up and it starts opening the information from that account.

Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
Through our
shared hosting you can host a different amount of domain names, regardless of whether you register them through our company or through any other company. In case you host only a few domain addresses, you will probably use much less system resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, which will be cheaper. If you want to add more domains to your account eventually, you can add additional slots via your website hosting CP and keep the current plan or upgrade the entire plan and use the extra system resources for the new domains. Each of the upgrades takes just a few mouse clicks and is activated right away. Since registering and hosting a domain name are two different things, there isn't any limit on the number of domain names you can register whatever the plan you’ve signed up for.

Hosted Domains in VPS Hosting
Our
Linux VPS hosting services can be used to host unlimited domain names regardless of the hosting CP that you select during the ordering process. You will get an abundance of system resources at your disposal, 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 individual hosting account for each and every domain name and we don't have a limit for the amount of accounts that you can create. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel, all domain names will be managed through a single account i.e. there will not be a main domain name and add-on domains as with the other Control Panels. The second alternative may very well 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 control the domain names that you host on the server. Furthermore, any new domain name which you register using Hepsia is going to be hosted automatically on the server without you having to do anything manually afterward.
