If you own your company name do you have to buy the domain with your name? Will you still own it? [I Design Websites]

I have many questions and helping a friend build one. I've looked online for some answers, but I have more questions.

Where do you go to register your domain name.

If you use a website builder like wix, etc. Will they own the name?

Do you have to pay for a name you already own once it becomes a domain name?

You have to pay for a domain name, every year.

Website builders like wix does gives you options to purchase a custom domain as a yearly subscription.
You can purchase a domain from providers like GoDaddy and then host it in Wix.

Do you have to pay for a name you already own once it becomes a domain name? - I don't get this. If you have already purchased a domain then you can use it on any hosting provider.
