I'm replying to crankypuss' message because it is the clearest place,
but this is directed to Peter.

registrar == "keeper(s) of the names"
Just like when you get an LLC, or DBA; you pick a name; the "keepers"
check to see if it's available; if so you register it (lease the right
to use it)

Host / hosting company == "internet landlord"
Your internet landlord rents you physical space for your stuff
(website), and maintains a "building directory" (DNS) telling people
where exactly your stuff is.

The "keeper(s) of the names" asks you for your (your landlord's) DNS
server name and address ( your "building directory"). The keepers then
provide that information to the DNS root servers, and keep other
information in their whois server.

Root DNS servers don't keep a list of addresses (building directories).
They keep a list of address lists (where to find the building
directories).

When a user types peter.example.com into his browser, the browser says
"???" ; then asks one of the root servers (who maintain a list of all
the building directories for the ".com" part of peter.example.com "where
do I begin?"; the root server says "Ask Peter's hosting company at
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

Now, and don't take offense at this Peter, you have exhibited a serious
lack of sophistication regarding this whole thing. Hackers and other
malevolent inhabitants of the internet do not share that naiveté.

The people here have been helpful in providing you enough information to
get you into some serious trouble. Please, do some studying, and try to
understand what's happening and why in a safe environment e.g. a
development server on your localhost BEFORE you go on the air.
