They may just be a reseller, but they are claiming to be themselves (although I've never heard of epik until this 
week), the whois record seems to hit all the right buttons to indicate they are a registrar and dns:

 
 
$ whois parler.com | grep -i epik

[Redirected to whois.epik.com]

[Querying whois.epik.com]

[whois.epik.com]

Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.epik.com

Registrar URL: http://www.epik.com

Registrar: Epik, Inc.

Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse () epik com

Name Server: NS3.EPIK.COM

Name Server: NS4.EPIK.COM

 
 
 
 
I'm not sure I agree with characterizing DNS hosting as a registrar
service. It makes sense to sell them together but they're not
classically the same thing.

Epik is also entangled with Clouthub which I hear is where Trump landed.
