Registering a domain name and hosting one is commonly mistaken by a lot of people to be one and the same thing. They are in fact two different services - the domain registration is the actual name and nothing more, while the hosted domains feature shows the number of already registered domain names which you could accommodate in the same hosting account and have site files and emails for them. Your sites will work in precisely the same way regardless of whether the domains are registered and hosted in one place or are registered with company A and directed to company B. Simply registering a domain address without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not enable you to have a site until you host this domain address in some account so that records for it are created and it starts opening the content from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
Using our shared hosting plans you'll be able to host a different number of domain addresses, regardless of whether you register them through our company or using some other company. In case you host only a couple of domain addresses, you'll likely use much less system resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, which will be more affordable. If you choose to add more domain names to your account eventually, you can add extra slots through your hosting CP and keep the current plan or upgrade the whole plan and employ the extra system resources for the new domains. Each of the upgrades takes only a few clicks and is activated right away. Since registering and hosting a domain address are 2 different things, there's no limit on the number of domains you'll be able to register whatever the plan you’ve subscribed for.
Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you will be able to host as many domain names as you want regardless of whether you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We've decided not to limit this feature because the semi-dedicated plans are quite powerful and the load they are able to handle is pretty high, so it would not sound right to be able to host a restricted amount of domain addresses. The accounts are handled using the Hepsia Control Panel, that will give you full control over your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a couple of clicks and everything is done easily and intuitively, in contrast to rival Control Panels where you may even have to switch between different accounts to handle a couple of domain names. In case you register a new domain name on our end, it'll be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.
Hosted Domains in VPS Servers
Our VPS hosting plans can be employed to host unrestricted amount of domain addresses regardless of the hosting CP that you pick during the ordering procedure. You will get ample system resources to use, so you can decide how many domains are going to use them. If you get the VPS with DirectAdmin or cPanel, you'll be able to create an independent hosting account for every single domain and we don't have a set limit for the number of accounts you can create. If you select our Hepsia CP, all domains are going to be controlled from a single account i.e. there will not be a main domain address and add-on domains like with the other Control Panels. The second alternative may be more convenient if you do not need to give access to a particular domain to other people and you do not want to switch between accounts to manage the domain addresses that you host on the server. In addition, any new domain name which you register through Hepsia will be hosted automatically on the server without you having to do anything manually afterwards.
