I am looking at getting a VPS with RackSRV, and they don't sell domain names, but are happy to set it up after I get one elsewhere.

Can anyone recommend somewhere I can purchase just the domain, and not have any hassles moving it afterwards?

(Or can I just purchase the domain and make it point at the RackSRV ip address, while still using the domain sellers' control panel? I don't really understand that part of it enough! :))

I want the domain name registered in my name, ideally with myself as the technical and administrative contacts for simple transfers.

You can purchase your domain from any ICANN accredited registrar.
To get a list of all the ICANN accredited registrars, use this link: www.icann.org/registrar-reports/accredited-list.html

Use the DNS manager and set 'A' record '@' and your IP.

There are thousands of companies out there that sell domain names. Two of the most popular (IMHO) are GoDaddy (shudder) and Network Solutions (also, shudder). Ignoring my shivers, GoDaddy has some decent prices (and questionable practices and horrible control panel) and Network Solutions was featured in the "Social Network."

Personally, I'd reccomend someone like 1&1. They have decent prices for domains and are somewhat friendly. Also, their control panel is pretty decent and easy to use when you need to access it.

In your situation, you wouldn't want to move the domain, you'd just want to point the domain to your server through the registrar's control panel.
