Hosting Services is about managing distinctive services, required for hosting purposes.

The list starts with websites. What is a website? Basically it is a domain that you need to register through Domain Name Registrants. HC panel does this for you. Just registering a domain doesn't mean that you have a website now. For a fully functional website, you need to get hosting services as well.  You may select a host offering Hosting Controller as its premier control panel and you are all set to take advantage of the vast feature set of the panel. Other hosting services can be managing domains, sub domains, site content, web applications, disk space, bandwidth, mail services and so on.

Then come DNS zones. Hosting companies use DNS technology to map domain names to IP addresses. Let's first explore domain names in detail. A domain name can be further sub divided in to three sections such as "Top Level Domain", "Second Level Domain" and "Subdomain". Suppose we have a domain name www.hostingcontroller.com. In this name, '.com' is the top level domain. While 'hostingcontroller' is the second level domain. Whereas the subdomain is 'www'. You can add different subdomains as well such as 'blogs.hostingcontroller.com' or 'kb.hostingcontroller.com'. Now these domain names are only for expediency, otherwise web servers recognize the websites via their IP addresses. The browsers and servers exchange data through websites' IP addresses. Here the DNS technology comes in handy to translate/swap website domain names in to IP addresses.

There can be multiple domain names that can be associated with single IP address as well. These domain names are termed as domain aliases. They are beneficial in scenarios where you have more than one domains and you want to direct all of them towards a single website. Similarly, there are other Hosting Services that are used to setup a fully functional website on the web. This section explains all these services in detail.
