The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account denotes the number of registered domain names which you can include in the exact same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are two different services although many people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting aspect is what really enables you to have a web site since this is where your files and emails will be. Because these are 2 independent services, you can register a new domain address with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name is going to work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Additionally, it is important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to another company and not transferring it.

Hosted Domains in Shared Hosting

One of the differences between our shared hosting plans is the number of domain names you can host in a single account. Having more domain names with working sites for them means employing more server resources, therefore, the more domains you wish to host, the more expensive the plan. That way, we offer you the opportunity to select a less expensive plan if you'd like to have just one or a few web sites. In the same time, you can always upgrade your package or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domain addresses in your existing account, so you'll not be limited 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 is your choice if you will also host them or you'll forward them to already existing domains via the parking function.
