I have been looking to register a website with the TLD '.cat'. I know it was created for catalan websites, but I want to do a domain hack, like bit.ly (which appears to be English).

But all the hosts I've looked at just allow you to register a site with generic TLDs, such as .com, .org, .info etcetera. I've been searching for a company which can host a .cat website for a while now and just can't find one, I also tried a whois (which I don't really understand) on .cat sites but that's not my area, so I was unsuccessful in locating the hosting company of other .cat sites.

I've looked at similar questions, such as [Where can I register .tw domain extensions?](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/6485/where-can-i-register-tw-domain-extensions) but no joy. I would really appreciate a link or pointer in the right direction. Thank you.
