Domain ownership is separate
Owning the domain is not the same as having hosting. A domain can point to different web and email services using DNS.

Changing nameservers or DNS records can affect the website, email, verification, security services and subdomains.
Email is often the risky part
During hosting moves, email records such as MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC must be preserved.
