Unfortunately not, our domain hosting system doesn't allow for a domain to be registered with us but not hosted with us.

I'm not actually sure why your account has any webspace as we don't offer it for customers on our current products as per the table here: http://www.plus.net/support/hosting/webspace/webspace_faq.shtml#availability

The webspace on your account (which shouldn't actually be there) is for static content only, PHP, ASP etc won't work on there.

Unfortunately we're not a domain registration company so the charges aren't as low as other places. We do have a sister company called Just The Name where you can register a .co.uk domain for £9.99 for 2 years (http://www.just-the-name.co.uk/pricing.shtml).

You can use the domain for your email addresses instead of your plusnet email address, and as mentioned earlier your account does have webspace on it so you can use it but only for static html content rather than dynamic PHP/ASP pages.

What hosting are you referring to? PN does not allow nameservers to be changed on domains that are registered with them but you can host the web site elsewhere by changing the DNS records.
