Confused about dbo

I recently signed up with a web hosting company. The hosting package
included a Microsoft SQL server database with it.

Anyway here is my question. I know for sure that I am not the owner of the
database (dbo) because hosting companies don't allow their customer to
create their own databases, so why is it that when I create a table the
owner of the table shows up as dbo? I would think that the owner should be
my user name right?

Why is this happening?

Thanks for your help.
