That's because you are purchasing a bundle of services from one
company.

These things are all available separately:

- domain name registration (annual fee) - establishes the name
  of busby.net and points it at one or more name servers

- domain name service (can be self-hosted, or provided through a
  free or paid service, or a combination) - maintains and
  updates records for www.busby.net, mail.busby.net, etc. to
  translate names into IP addresses.

- mail service (can be self-hosted or otherwise)

- basic web hosting (same)

and whatever else you'd like.
