    A small correction: the registrar directs the registry (on your behalf) to configure the registry’s DNS servers to point at whichever DNS servers you specify to host the domain, which default to the registrar’s DNS servers. The chain of delegation is most commonly either:

    root -> registry -> registrar

    or

    root -> registry -> another DNS hosting provider (CloudFlare, AWS Route53, DNS Made Easy, etc)
