The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account refers to the amount of registered domains that one can include in the exact same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are two totally different services even though many people consider them to be the same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a given domain name, the hosting part is what really permits you to have a site because this is where your data and emails are going to be. As these are 2 different services, it is possible to register a new domain with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name will work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. It's also extremely important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain name to another company and not transferring it.
Hosted Domains in Shared Website Hosting
One of the primary differences between our shared website hosting solutions is the amount of domains you can host in one account. Having more domain addresses with active websites for them means employing additional server system resources, so the more domain addresses you want to host, the more expensive the package. In this way, we give you the chance to choose a less expensive plan if you'd like to have just one or several web sites. In the same time, you can upgrade the package or keep the current one and only add additional slots for hosting more domain names inside your existing account, so you will never be limited by this feature. Irrespective of how many domains you host, there's no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it is your decision if you will also host them or you will direct them to already existing domains using the parking feature.
