Web Hosting Addons

Web hosting business is not only the direct sales of website hosting space and hosting plan management. Web hosting companies also work as resellers of the specific services which is not their direct business. Additional services are not the primary source of web hosting business, but still they are closely related to web hosting. Web Hosting addons are the additional services to the hosting service which help hosting service users manage some useful applications in one interface.
Let’s name the few main addons to get a clear understanding what they are.
The most popular additional service is domain names. Domain names do not belong to the web hosting company, unless it has another service called domaining – reserves the dropped domains and sells them for extra price. Web hosting company is an official reseller of the domains from the local domain registration agencies and ICANN – the authority which managed generic Top level domains.Another important add-on is the SSL certificate which is used for increased website security. The SSL certificates are produced by several companies. Web hosting companies are just the resellers who can arrange the SSL certificates much easier than customers themselves going directly. Also hosting can offer better prices as they sell lots of SSL certificates.
There is a group of addons which can be named the additional applications for the web hosting services. The most popular applications are cPanel and Direct admin, which are paid.
There are some more addons, which are usually different in every hosting company.
