The hosted domains feature of a web hosting account refers to the number of registered domain names that you could add within the exact same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are two completely different services although some people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration means you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting part is what actually enables you to have a website as this is where your data and email messages will be. Because these are 2 separate services, you are able to register a new domain address with one company and host it with another by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain name is going to work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted using the same company. It is also extremely important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain to another company and not transferring it.
