If you wish to create a web site, you need 2 things - your own domain and a website hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address which you enter in an Internet browser to access a website, while the hosting space is where your site files is going to be. These are two very closely related, yet individual services, even though many people think that registering the domain is enough. Just like the disk space and the monthly traffic features that a given hosting plan features, there are a certain number of registered domain names you can include as hosted which means that you can have the web content for them in some account even when the domains have been registered through a different provider. In technical terms, it doesn't matter if a domain name is registered and hosted with the exact same company or is registered with one company and pointed to another - in any case your websites will operate in exactly the same way.
