registrar

A registrar is an official or organization responsible for managing and maintaining records, such as the registration of domain names on the internet or vital records like birth and marriage certificates. In the context of domain names, registrars are authorized companies that sell domain registration services to individuals and businesses, ensuring the domain names are unique and properly recorded in the central database. They handle the processes of registering, updating, or transferring domain names, acting as the bridge between the domain owner and the global registry that maintains the authoritative record.
