As a person who has a few web sites, the first step, is registering the 
domain name, then, the second step, is obtaining web hosting. Upon the 
obtaining of the web hosting, DNS addresses (the IP numbers for the DNS 
servers) (for, usually, each of the primary server and secondary 
server), are then allocated. In the absence of obtaining web hosting, no 
DNS server is allocated.

That is from my experience.

Your experience may be different.
