If you wish to make a website, you need two things - your own domain and a hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address that you type in a browser to reach a site, while the hosting space is where your website data will be. These are 2 very closely related, but independent services, even though many people think that registering the domain is enough. Much like the disk space and the monthly traffic features which a given hosting plan has, there are a certain number of registered domain names which you can add as hosted which means that you can have the web content for them in some account even when the domains have been registered through a different company. In technical terms, it doesn't matter whether a domain name is registered and hosted using the same company or is registered with one company and directed to another one - in either case your websites will operate exactly the same way.
Hosted Domains in Shared Web Hosting
One of the main differences between our shared web hosting plans is the number of domains which you can host in one account. Possessing more domain addresses with working websites for them usually means employing additional server resources, hence the more domain names you would like to host, the more expensive the plan. In this way, we offer you the option to choose a less expensive plan if you'd like to have just one or several web sites. In the same time, you’re able to upgrade the package or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domains within your existing account, so you'll never be limited by this feature. Regardless 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 through the parking function.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you will be able to host as many domain addresses as you want no matter whether you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We have decided not to restrict this feature given that the semi-dedicated plans are very powerful and the load they are able to handle is fairly high, so it wouldn't make sense to be able to host a fixed number of domain addresses. The accounts are controlled through the Hepsia CP, that will give you total control over all of your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a few clicks and everything is done effortlessly and intuitively, in contrast to rival Control Panels where you might even have to switch between separate accounts to manage a couple of domain addresses. If 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 VPS service can be employed to host unlimited domain names regardless of the hosting Control Panel that you select during the ordering process. You'll have plenty 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'll be able to create an individual hosting account for every domain name and we do not have a restriction for the number of accounts you can create. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel, all domain addresses are going to be controlled through one account i.e. there will not be a main domain name and add-on domains like with the other Control Panels. The second alternative might be more convenient if you don't need to grant access to a certain domain to other people and you do not want to switch between accounts to handle the domains that you host on the server. In addition, any new domain which you register through Hepsia will be hosted automatically on the server without you having to do anything manually after that.
