The hosted domains feature of a web hosting account denotes the number of registered domains which you could add in the exact same account. Registering a domain address and hosting it are 2 totally different services even though many people consider them to be the exact same thing. While the registration ensures that you become the owner of a specific domain name, the hosting part is what actually allows you to have a website as this is where your files and email messages are going to be. Since these are 2 independent 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 address will work in the exact same way as if it was registered and hosted with the same company. It is also important to know that changing the hosting means directing the domain to an alternative company and not transferring it.
