Hosted Domains
What precisely are Hosted Domains? What is the difference between a regular domain name and a hosted domain name?
If you wish to create a web site, you need 2 things - your own domain and a hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address that you enter in an Internet browser to access a website, while the hosting space is where your site files is going to be. These are two very closely related, but individual services, while many people think that registering the domain name is enough. Similar to the disk space and the monthly traffic features that a given web hosting plan features, there are a certain number of registered domain names which you can add as hosted i.e. you can have the web content for them in some account even if the domains are actually registered via a different service provider. In technical terms, it does not matter whether a domain is registered and hosted using the same company or is registered with one company and pointed to another one - in any case your websites will function in exactly the same way.

Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting
The
shared hosting plans we offer permit you to host a different number of domain names. In this way, you can choose what package to get and how much to pay in accordance with your needs. If you want to host more domains at some point than the amount the current plan permits you to, you can easily upgrade the entire plan or keep the same one and just add more slots for hosted domains. If you choose to employ the registration services of another company, you'll be able to see the name servers that you have to set for your domains in order to direct them to our cloud platform in the Hosted Domains area of the Control Panel on our end. If you prefer to have everything in 1 spot, however, there is no limit on the amount of domain names you can register/transfer as part of your account regardless of the hosting plan you have picked. You'll be able to decide if you'll host any of them or you will direct them to other existing domains.

Hosted Domains in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a
semi-dedicated server plan through our company, you'll be able to host as many domain addresses as you would like no matter whether you register them here or you already own them through a different company. We've decided not to limit this feature as the semi-dedicated plans are very powerful and the load they are able to handle is quite high, therefore it wouldn't make sense to be able to host a restricted amount of domain names. The accounts are controlled using the Hepsia CP, that will give you complete control over your hosted domains. You can add a new domain with a few clicks and everything is done very easily and intuitively, in contrast to alternative Control Panels where you might even have to switch between different accounts to manage a couple of domain addresses. If you register a new domain on our end, it will be hosted automatically in your semi-dedicated account.

Hosted Domains in VPS
Our
virtual private server plans have no restriction for the amount of domain addresses that you can host no matter the Control Panel that you pick during the process of ordering. With Hepsia, you will be able to manage all domains in one location and any new domain name that you register will be hosted automatically on the server without having to do anything manually. If you acquire the VPS with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you can choose whether a number of domains are going to be accommodated within one account or if every single domain is going to be hosted in its own account given that there is no restriction how many independent accounts you can create using these two Control Panels. You're able to register new domains from the VPS billing area and decide the ones you would like to host and which ones to park and forward.
