In order to make a web site, you need 2 things - a domain name and a website hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address which you type in a web browser to access a website, while the hosting space is where your site files will be. These are two very closely related, yet separate services, while many people think that registering the domain name is enough. Very similar to the disk space and the monthly traffic features which a given website hosting plan offers, there are a certain number of registered domains you can include as hosted i.e. you can have the web content for them in some account even when the domains have been registered through a different service provider. In technical terms, it does not matter whether a domain name is registered and hosted using the same company or is registered with one company and pointed to a different one - in either case your websites will function the very same way.
Hosted Domains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use Linux cloud website hosting packages you can host a different amount of domains, no matter whether you register them with our company or using any other service provider. In case you host only a couple of domains, you'll probably use much less system resources, so you can go for a lower-end plan, which will be less expensive. If you decide to add more domain names to your account eventually, you can add extra slots using your website hosting CP and keep the current plan or you can upgrade the entire plan and employ the extra resources for the new domains. Either one of the upgrades will take just a few clicks and is activated right away. Since registering and hosting a domain address are 2 different things, there isn't any limit on the number of domain addresses you'll be able to register no matter the plan you’ve subscribed for.
