What is the difference between a registrar and a registry?

Published Nov 16, 2017
– A registry is a central database that manages domain names under a specific extension (e.g., .ME Registry for .ME domains).
– A registrar is a company authorized to sell and manage domain registrations on behalf of the registry (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, and others).
For example, Domain.ME is the registry for .ME domains, but you register your domain through an accredited registrar.
📌 See the list of .ME accredited registrars here.
