Registering a domain and hosting one is commonly mistaken by a lot of people to be one and the same thing. They're in reality 2 different services - the domain address registration is the actual name and nothing else, while the hosted domains feature reveals the amount of already registered domain names that you can accommodate within the same hosting account and have site files and email messages for them. Your websites will work in precisely the same way regardless if the domain addresses are registered and hosted at the same place or are registered with company A and pointed to company B. Simply registering a domain address without hosting it will grant you ownership, but will not enable you to have a site until you host this domain address in some account so that records for it are created and it starts opening the information from that account.
Hosted Domains in Shared Web Hosting
One of the main differences between our shared web hosting solutions is the number of domain names you can host within a single account. Having more domain addresses with working sites for them usually means employing additional server system resources, hence the more domain names you would like to host, the more expensive the plan. That way, we offer you the chance to select a less expensive plan if you wish to have just 1 or a few web sites. In the same time, you will be able to upgrade your plan or keep the current one and only add extra slots for hosting more domains inside your existing account, so you will not 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's your choice if you will also host them or you will direct them to already existing domains via the parking feature.
