The hosted domains feature of a website hosting account refers to the amount of registered domains which you can include in the same account. Registering a domain and hosting it are two completely different services even though many people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a specific domain, the hosting element is what in fact permits you to have a web site since this is where your data and email messages are going to be. As these are 2 separate services, it is possible to register a new domain name with one company and host it with another by changing its name servers (DNS) - the domain is going to work in the exact same way just as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. Additionally, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain name to a different company and not transferring it.
