Suppose I register a domain at namecheap or godaddy and forward it to my hosting account elsewhere, will I get rankings in Search Engines?

Yes, but don’t just forward it. Enter the name servers of your host (don’t get a free one) in your domain name’s control panel. This way they will connect and not just be forwarder. You don’t have to buy them from the same company although most hosts offer a free domain name with their hosting plan so you might check them out.
I recommend one of these: http://www.hosttell.com/
Powweb has the best offer right now. It’s on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them.
If you change the DNS (domain name servers) to point to your webhosting, there is no issue at all, all domains work that way.
If you do not change the DNS, but use a 301 forward, you will still be included in the search engines, but your ranking may suffer a bit. However, this bit is still not that bad.
Just do not do an html forward (using the meta tag), they still show up in Google, but do get really low value.http://www.icantinternet.org
Search engines do not like forwarded domains and most will not index them because they are not yours. They go to another domain.
When you update the name servers to point to your hosting account you are pointing the domain, not forwarding. This is the standard method of setting up a domain that will have pages on it.
