That generally isn't correct with low end web hosts, they serve webpages based on the domain you tell them, which is why OpenNIC domains don't work with many. You're thinking of a VPS/dedicated server where you manage it yourself, like I suggested.

Oh wait, my last comment was wrong! I was talking about
DNS but I see now that it was about hosting. As far
as using an OpenNIC domain on a host I seriously doubt
there's any that don't. They give you an IP and it's up
to you what you point at it.
