Yes, you can register your domain name on Namecheap and then host it on any other host. There are no formalities required.
but anyone can say that i have a rgistered name at name cheap and then host. and how much can i save... thanks
yes you can and should register domain at the different company than your host. You don't want your domain to become bound to your hosting account. Domain price is about $6 a year and usually it is much less than what you going to pay for hosting.
It is better to keep seperate accounts for hosting and domain registrars. If you need to change the hosting later, domain registered in namecheap will be more flexible.
