Domain registration is the process of getting a network domain name registered with a registrar authorized to bestow the registration. Domain name registration helps the owner of the site to have a single name regardless of the fact that the site is opened on ISP or ASP. ISP is the internet service provider and ASP is the application service provider. A domain registration makes you have a URL (uniform resource locator). It is always necessary to have your domain, so that users using your website have a clear idea of where your site belongs from. This helps them manage and remember the site names and so the usability of your site increases. This thereby increases the rate at which your site is browsed to bring revenue to you. To have your site accessible to the users, you need to have a network host. It is because you need to have some space on the internet for your site and for the viewers of your site.
You can have a web space, or web server of your own. But the convenience lies when you borrow the space from already existing hosting companies. When the server hosting the sites is run by a Linux operating system it becomes a linux hosting, whereas when it runs on the windows server, it is called a windows hosting.
