DNS and hosting are different things. It goes something like this:


Domain Register - sells domains and specifies DNS servers (and whois) for the domain.
DNS server - holds the DNS zone (mapping) and allows clients to ask what is the IP address for a certain domain or subdomain.
Web Host - whoever answers when clients connects to the resolved IP address.


These three are completely separate, and even though one company might fill all three roles, there is no limitation why it can't be changed.
