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 address and hosting it are two different services although a lot of people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration means that you become the owner of a given domain address, the hosting aspect is what really enables you to have a website considering that this is where your data and emails will be. Since these are two separate services, you are able to register a new domain name with one company and host it with another one 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 same company. It is also important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain address to another company and not transferring it.

Hosted Domains in Cloud Website Hosting

When you use Linux cloud website hosting you are able to host a different amount of domain addresses, no matter if you register them with our company or with some other service provider. In case you host only a couple of domains, you'll probably use a smaller amount of resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, that will also be less expensive. If you decide to add more domains to your account at some point, you can add additional slots via your hosting Control Panel and keep the current plan or upgrade the entire plan and employ the additional system resources for the new domain addresses. Either one of the upgrades will take only a few mouse clicks and is activated straight away. As registering and hosting a domain are 2 different things, there isn't any limit on the number of domain names you can register regardless of the plan you’ve subscribed for.
