The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account indicates the amount of registered domains which you can add within the exact same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are two completely different services although many people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration signifies that you become the owner of a specific domain address, the hosting element is what really permits you to have a web site since this is where your files and email messages are going to be. Since these are 2 separate services, you'll be able to register a new domain with one company and host it with another one by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain will work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Additionally, it is important to know that changing the hosting means pointing the domain name to another company and not transferring it.
