Well actually the limit is technically is far greater than 253. The number 253 is based on the mask of 255.255.255.0 Modifying the 4th octet will lower the number of hosts while modifying the first 3 octets will increase the number of hosts
www.subnet-calculator.com will give you a brief description on how the bits in the mask control the number of hosts and subnets available.
