The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account refers to the number of registered domains that one can add within the very same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are two different services although some people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting part is what in fact allows you to have a web site as this is where your files and email messages will be. As these are 2 different services, you can register a new domain name with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name will work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. Also, it is extremely important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain name to an alternative company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Hosting
One of the primary differences between our cloud hosting plans is the amount of domains you can host within a single account. Owning more domain addresses with working websites for them means using more server resources, hence the more domain names you wish to host, the more expensive the package. In this way, we provide you with the option to choose a more affordable plan if you want to have just 1 or a couple of websites. In the same time, you are able to upgrade the package or keep the current one and only add more slots for hosting more domain addresses within your existing account, so you will never be restricted by this feature. Regardless of how many domains you host, there's no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it's your choice if you'll also host them or you will forward them to already existing domains using the parking function.
