Hosted Domains

What precisely are Hosted Domains? What is the difference between a regular domain name and a hosted domain name?

If you want to create a website, you need 2 things - your own domain and a website hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address that you type in a web browser to access a site, while the hosting space is where your site data will be. These are two closely related, but separate services, although many people think that registering the domain is enough. Similar to the disk space and the monthly traffic features which a given website hosting plan features, there are a certain number of registered domains which you can include as hosted which means that you can have the web content for them in some account even when the domains are in fact registered through a different provider. In technical terms, it doesn't matter whether a domain is registered and hosted with the exact same company or is registered with one company and directed to another - in either case your websites will function exactly the same way.

Hosted Domains in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting packages come with a different amount of domain addresses that one can host in one account. In order to have one or a few websites, you don't need a lot of system resources, so you do not have to pay for a very powerful plan and you can pick a lower-end one. If you decide to have more sites later on, you can always upgrade the entire plan or only the hosted domains function of your current plan - it will take only a few clicks in your hosting CP to do that. There is no limit how many domain names you can register through our company and by picking out the most suitable plan, you can select how many of them you'll actually host. If you already have domain names that are registered using a different provider, you are able to host them here as well and employ our web and e mail hosting services for them.
