Sounds like you are paying for what is calling domain parking.
Parking refers to having a reserved a domain name which is not
actively used. The site company maintains its record in their
database and is charging you a small fee to keep the reservation
active.

Once you decide you want to use your parked domain for a real site,
you will, most likely, have to pay the site company more. It will not
be parked anymore and its record will have to be modified to point to
your on-rev site. On-Rev has instructions how to go about it.
Paying for domain is independent from paying for on-rev service. The
former is a fee for having an internet address. The latter is a fee
for using an internet provider, that is for serving your web pages
and other files.
