If you wish to make a website, you need 2 things - your own domain name and a hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual web address that you type in a web browser to access a website, while the hosting space is where your website files will be. These are 2 very closely connected, but individual services, while many people believe that registering the domain is enough. Very similar to the disk space and the monthly traffic features that a given website hosting plan offers, there are a certain number of registered domain names that you can include as hosted which means that you can have the web content for them in some account even if the domains have been registered using a different service provider. In technical terms, it doesn't matter if a domain name is registered and hosted using the same company or is registered with one company and pointed to another one - in either case your sites will operate in exactly the same way.
