Is Tucows a registrar or registry?
Both. Tucows is ICANN-accredited as a registrar and operates multiple top-level domain registries. Most consumers interact with Tucows through Hover or a reseller using OpenSRS.
HostList ranks registrars and hosts by HRI and profile completeness, not by advertising spend or affiliate relationships. Labeled sponsor banners and partner offers may appear on this site; they never change HRI, directory order, or spotlight selection.
