Hosted Domains
What exactly are Hosted Domains? What's the difference between a standard domain name and a hosted domain name?
The hosted domains feature of a hosting account indicates the number of registered domain names that one can add within the same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are 2 different services even though many people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting aspect is what really enables you to have a web site as this is where your files and email messages will be. Because these are 2 different services, you'll be able to register a new domain address with one company and host it with another by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain will work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Additionally, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to a different company and not transferring it.

Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
The
shared hosting solutions that we provide allow you to host a different number of domains. That way, you can pick what plan to purchase and how much to pay according to your requirements. If you want to host more domain addresses in the future than the number the current plan enables you to, you can effortlessly upgrade the whole package or even keep the same one and only add more slots for hosted domain names. If you choose to use the registration services of some other company, you will be able to see the name servers that you have to set for your domains so that you can point them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains section of the CP on our end. If you want to have everything in 1 place, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain addresses you can register/transfer within your account no matter the hosting plan that you have selected. Then you could decide if you'll host them or you will forward them to other existing domains.

Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single
semi-dedicated server which we provide includes unlimited hosted domain names. Regardless of whether you register multiple domain addresses here or you already have them through a different company, you can include them in the account on our end with just a few mouse clicks. If you decide to get a new domain through our company, it will even be hosted automatically in the account, so you'll not need to do anything else but start working on the website for it. All hosted domains can be handled effortlessly in one location using our Hepsia CP. By comparison, in case you use rival Control Panels, you'll be able to register a domain through one system and host it through another, not mentioning that you have to switch between several accounts to regulate a couple of domain names. Thus, Hepsia is going to save you efforts and time when you manage your hosted domain addresses.

Hosted Domains in VPS
With our
VPS you'll get a lot of resources at your disposal and since you'll have your own server, it is only natural that you can host as many domain addresses as you wish. You can select among three website hosting Control Panels through the registration process and based on your choice there are two different alternatives. If you select our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, all domains hosted on the server will be managed collectively through a single account and newly registered domains are going to be hosted automatically, while if you choose cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll be able to create an individual account for every domain address and for new registrations you will have to add the domains manually. The second option could be more convenient if you need to grant access to a certain domain to a third party without granting them access to the whole server or to other domains hosted on it.
