For example when new User joins michael.com - are they joining onto that profile only, or do they join the main site
http://yoursite.com ?
No - when a user clicks on "login" or "signup" they go to the main site. ONLY the pages of the profile mapped to the domain will use the domain - all the "other" links on your page - i.e. privacy policy, header menu items, etc will all point to the main site URL.

We hope to understand the difference between Groups, and Profile Domains.
Profile Groups and Custom Domains are not related:
Custom Domain - simply maps a domain that is DIFFERENT than the main site domain to a profile. So for example - on out site here "jamroom.net" I could add a custom domain called "brianjamroom.com" and map it to MY "brian" profile.
Profile Groups - allows profiles to create "groups" that share an interest - i.e. I could create a group called "Jamroom Developers" on my profile, and it would have it's own discussions and pages.
