Some "free" or "low cost" "registrars" actually are hosting providers that register the domain for you, and then provide you limited access to the tools normally available.

Do these still exist? I remember running into one of them around 2005, but I haven't heard of any since -- it's been a long time since "give away hosting and run ads against the content" was a viable business model.

I’m sure there are some crippling around somewhere, but it’s no longer a major concern.
