If I register my domain with Company A, and allow their default DNS settings, what happens when I use Company B for hosting the actual site? Do I just tell Company B the name of the domain, and off we go? Do i have to get Company A and Company B to cooperate in some fashion to use Company B's DNS information?
From what I've read, it seems very straightforward, but I'm hoping to avoid any hidden gotchas (hidden to me, anyway).

Registering your domain name with company A and then Hosting your site/domain with company B is absolutely ok, and there's nothing wrong with it. And to Host your domain name which you registered with company A, can be done when you signup for a hosting account with company B, they will send you all the information required, and then u can use the sent name severs to update your name sever at your domain registration account. And bingo...that's all it is. Although it may take from 24-48 hours for your domain name to complete its transfer to your webhosts servers.
