A more technical explanation:

In order to own a domain name, you must have it registered with a Registry authorized to issue and license domain names. The Internet Consortium for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), is the organization placed in charge by the US Department of Commerce to oversee the Internet. Before a domain can be issued, it must be programmed into at least two special internet connected computers which are known as name servers. Name servers act as directories and tell other internet users where the web space associated with a domain name is precisely located on the Internet.

We have provided you with a fully automated service that will handle this registration process for you. We will submit your domain application to the Registries and program our name servers' computers to support your domain.

Once the the Registry announces that your domain name has been registered, it usually takes a couple of days before it shows as being registered on the domain search tools you may find elsewhere.
