Thanks to those who have replied off-list with some suggestions, however I haven’t found any provides that clearly have a hosting product inside the region.

Having had another set of eyes over the policy, it looks like the intent might be referring to domains sold at the third-level, not third-level entries in DNS (e.g. blah.com.io), so I will seek clarification from nic.io.

Thanks again folks :)
