Sure - you don't need a local domain. Everything can be a hosteddomains
- - just make sure that the locals file is empty. But if you do this then
you'll need to change the username of ALL the users who are on that domain.

For instance if your local domain was 'domain.com' and you had users
"bob" and "alice" then their user names in userdb or mysql or whatever
authentication method you use would be "bob" and "alice". If you move
'domain.com' to a hosteddomain then you need to change their user names
to be "bob@domain.com" and "alice@domain.com". This is the difference
between a local and a hosted domain.

This has to change on the server AND it has to change in all your
clients. Bob will have to change his email client to log in as
"bob@domain.com". He can no longer log in as "bob". If you've got a
lot of clients this can be a *real* pain to get them all to change their
logins, so make sure you've got a plan and people know about it before
you make the change.
