I am personally a Registrar, for the .ax domain. In fact, so are a lot of people - and anyone can become one: https://whois.ax/en/ https://whois.ax/en/ Functionally, it's almost exactly like managing something with any other registrar although if you're looking for a NameDaddyCheap like experience of actually hosting a website and email forwarding in a single package then you'll have to sort it out yourself, the only thing you can do here is designate the ownership (whois) details and supply name server addresses. You are billed directly by the government* of Åland - I guess it is easy and cheap enough for them to run this directly than miss out on profits that would go to an exclusive registrar. *Or whatever they are technically called being an autonomous part of Finland.
