Registering a domain and hosting one is often mistaken by a lot of people to be one and the same thing. These are actually two separate services - the domain registration is the actual name and nothing else, while the hosted domains feature refers to the amount of already registered domain names that you can accommodate within the same hosting account and have website files and emails for them. Your sites will work in exactly the same way regardless of whether the domains are registered and hosted in one place or are registered with company A and pointed to company B. Simply registering a domain name without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not enable you to have a web site if you don't host this domain name in some account so that records for it are created and it starts opening the data from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
With our shared hosting service you are able to host a different amount of domain names, regardless of whether you register them through our company or using any other company. If you host only a couple of domain addresses, you'll probably use a smaller amount of system resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, that will be less expensive. If you choose to add more domain names to your account at some point, you can add additional slots using your website hosting Control Panel and keep the current plan or upgrade the whole plan and use the additional resources for the new domain names. Each of the upgrades will take only a few clicks and is activated straight away. As registering and hosting a domain are two different things, there's no limit on the number of domain addresses you'll be able to register no matter the plan you’ve subscribed for.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you'll be able to host as many domain addresses as you want no matter if you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We've decided not to restrict this feature as the semi-dedicated plans are rather powerful and the load they are able to handle is quite high, therefore it wouldn't sound right to be able to host a restricted number of domains. The accounts are managed using the Hepsia Control Panel, which will give you full control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain address with a few mouse clicks and everything is done very easily and intuitively, in contrast to rival Control Panels where you might even have to switch between different accounts to control a couple of domain names. In case you register a new domain address on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
If you buy a VPS server solution from our company, you can host as many domain addresses as you like. You will have your own server, so it's for you to decide how you will employ its system resources. You'll be able to register new domain addresses through the billing account of your VPS or add domain names that you've already registered with a different company. Since we provide 3 web hosting Control Panels for the servers, you'll have different choices for the hosting part - with Hepsia, a newly registered domain is hosted automatically on the server and you are going to handle all hosted domains in one place (i.e. there aren't any main and add-on domains), while with DirectAdmin and cPanel you're able to create a separate account for each domain that you want to host on the server. The last option is practical if you want to allow access to your domains to other people.
