If you wish to make a website, you need two things - your own domain and a web hosting plan for it. The domain registration is the actual website address that you type in an Internet browser to reach a website, while the hosting space is where your site data will be. These are 2 tightly related, but separate services, although many people assume that registering the domain is enough. Much like the disk space and the monthly traffic features which a given web hosting plan features, there are a certain number of registered domains that you can add as hosted which means that you can have the web content for them in some account even when the domains are actually registered through a different company. In technical terms, it does not matter whether a domain is registered and hosted using the same company or is registered with one company and pointed to a different one - in either case your sites will operate the very same way.
