 * First I took domain name then a hosting service with a different company. then
   I logged in to my c-panel and tried to install 1-click wordpress through Fantastico.
   It was properly installed but my website is not going to be open. When I contacted
   my webhost, they asked me that I should contact to my domain registrar and ask
   them to set my dns for my domain name.
    I want to ask, is it mandatory to contact
   domain registrar for setting dns or not? Is it really related to my problem regarding
   wordpress?

 * Yes – it’s mandatory. You need a domain name for your site.
