Honest question: What exactly does it mean for a registrar to block a domain? I believed so far that for my browser to successfully connect to a web server running on a domain or for a mail server to deliver email to a domain, there should only be valid A, AAAA, MX, and/or CNAME records in the DNS.

Was it really a block at the registrar level or was it a block at the DNS level, i.e., the registrar also ran DNS service and their DNS service refused to return responses for zoho.com domains?

At what layer or at which stage of the protocol can a registrar disrupt this and take a domain offline?

I assume the registrar was also the nameserver in this case

Am I seeing things or is dig really telling me their NS records pointed to vtitan.com? Who the hell is vtitan? Route53 with AWS would run them what, $100 a month for their level of traffic?
