The hosted domains feature of a hosting account indicates the amount of registered domain names that you could include in the exact same account. Registering a domain name and hosting it are 2 totally different services although a lot of people consider them to be the very same thing. While the registration means that you become the owner of a given domain address, the hosting aspect is what in fact allows you to have a website considering that this is where your data and emails are going to be. Since these are two separate services, you can register a new domain address with one company and host it with another one by modifying its name servers (DNS) - the domain address is going to work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the exact same company. Additionally, it is very important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain name to an alternative company and not transferring it.
