Realizm

I searched the forums for info on this, but I really didn't find what I'm exactly looking for.



I went to whois.net and searched for my desired domain, it's available for registration. I clicked the register button and it took me to verio.com to register. I think the prices for registering are ok, and I know of other places where a domain can be registered, but I have a question about all that...


If I get a domain registered at verio, does this mean that I will have to choose one of Verio's hosting plans? Or will they (or another domain name registrar) allow me to specify where a domain should point to, being some other hosting service offered by someone else?


Thanks for the help everybody.
