Changing Domain's Nameserver vs Changing Registrar

[jimeoff]

Is changing a domain's nameserver different than changing the registrar?

Thanks

They are different. My registrar gives me access to change the nameservers.

I can change my registrar. I can change the nameservers. The registrar has the DNS record.

The actual nameservers are physically located at the host.

Your registrar might be your host.
