Thanks in advance You are confusing the various services. A domain name is just that - a name. "boiledpetunias.com" is a domain name (god, I hope it's not!). Providing name servers to provide responses for that domain name, web servers that answer to that name, mail servers to collect mail destined for that name, etc. are all different issues. Try secondary.com for backup name services - beyond that, Google for something like "how to host a web site" and do a little reading to come up to speed.
