You can't register a domain without hostnames, so the domain would have hostnames. The only way for it to end up without hostnames is if they go into manage.cgi and delete them. Why would you need to delete the hostnames in order to create new hostnames and switch to them. I don't follow you. :-)

You are able to create a domain, and them immediately create nameservers BASED on that domain, then associate it with that domain. Otherwise you'd have to do a weird workaround.
