Registrar: The registrar is an delegate organization, like XsoftHost , that allow to sells domain names to the public . Some Registrars have the ability to sell top level domain names (TLDs) like .com, .net, and .org or country code top level domain names (ccTLDs) such as .ca, and .eu.
Registrant: A registrant is the person or any company who orders and registers a domain name. Registrants can manage their domain name’s settings through their registrar (Xsofthost).
