Registering a domain and hosting one is usually mistaken by many people to be the same thing. These are actually 2 separate services - the domain name registration is the actual name and nothing else, while the hosted domains feature reveals the amount of already registered domain names which you can accommodate within the same web hosting account and have site data and email messages for them. Your websites will function in precisely the same way no matter if the domains are registered and hosted at the same place or are registered with company A and pointed to company B. Simply registering a domain name without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not enable you to have a website until you host this domain name in some account so that records for it are set up and it starts opening the information from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Website Hosting
One of the main differences between our shared website hosting plans is the number of domains you can host within a single account. Having more domains with active sites for them means employing more server resources, so the more domain addresses you wish to host, the more expensive the plan. This way, we offer you the chance to choose a cheaper plan if you'd like to have just one or a few websites. In the same time, you will be able to upgrade the package or keep the current one and only add additional slots for hosting more domain names within your existing account, so you will not be limited by this feature. No matter how many domains you host, there's no limit how many domains you can register in your account and it's up to you if you will also host them or you'll direct them to already existing domains via the parking feature.
