How on earth would anybody KNOW who you used to register a hostname??????
And more to the point Why would anybody CARE?????

And what on earth are you so angry, I have read somewhere that if you register a domain from a some country registrar maybe traffic will generally come from there..but cannot find the link..
I'd suggest you go back and re-read it. Or better still never read there again!
It has NOTHING to do with where or who the registrar is.
It is where your hosting is located that can and does make a difference to the search engine results with geo-targeting filters.
The tld (.com .co.uk .de .ca etc) and the geolocation of the server IP both contribute to how the pages will appear when end users (searchers) are using the localised (tld) version of the search engine.
BTW It's not "angry". Just hacked off at the amount of pure unadulterated crap that gets passed around as fact and then gets useless comments such as in post #3.

If you have a country-specific tld you might get preference in that country's search results.
But, you mentioned nothing about tlds in you initial post. You only mentioned registrars.
Chris doesn't sound angry. I was thinking the same thing that he posted.
EDIT - Chris, you beat me to it.

I have a .com site, and hosted on freehostia, so the registrar doesn't make any effect to visitors. Well thanks a lot I got an idea about this. If I have a .it domain that will mean that visitors will generally be from Italy.

Not necessarily, but if they are coming from a search engine they may be.
