The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account indicates the number of registered domain names which you could add in the exact same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are two totally different services although a lot of people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration means that you become the owner of a given domain, the hosting element is what in fact allows you to have a web site because this is where your data and emails are going to be. As these are two separate 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 is going to work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. It is also extremely important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain name to a different company and not transferring it.

Hosted Domains in Shared Web Hosting

One of the main differences between our shared web hosting plans is the number of domain names that you can host within a single account. Possessing more domains with active sites for them usually means employing more server system resources, hence the more domain addresses you want to host, the more expensive the plan. In this way, we give you the possibility to select a cheaper plan if you'd like to have just one or a couple of web sites. In the same time, you can upgrade the plan or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domain addresses in your existing account, so you will not be restricted by this feature. Regardless how many domains you host, there is no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it's your choice if you'll also host them or you'll direct them to already existing domains using the parking feature.
