These days, I don’t remember the last registrar I’ve seen that does not provide at least some kind of basic hosting. Maybe they want to grow like all businesses, maybe just being a registrar doesn’t keep the lights on anymore. Not sure, but it definitely seems to be the thing most, if not all, do now.
This looks like they provide hosting services?
I believe a domain name provider are the folk that sell domain names.
they are both a registrar and host. i, for example host no sites with them. i only register domains here and use their dns.

I wonder why we have to have registrars or to put it better I wonder why a person can’t buy a domain for life and own it.
