Understanding Domain Name Registration


Who Registers Domain Names?


Domain name registration is handled by companies known as domain name registrars. These businesses are accredited by either ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) or a national authority for country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

What is ICANN?


ICANN is a nonprofit organization established in 1998 by Jon Postel, in response to a policy from the US Department of Commerce. ICANN is responsible for allocating IP address spaces, managing protocol parameters, overseeing the domain name system, and handling root server functions. It governs generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like .com, .net, and .org, while ccTLDs, such as .ca (Canada), .uk (United Kingdom), and .de (Germany), fall under national authorities.

ICANN's Structure


The ICANN board consists of nineteen Directors and nine At-Large Directors. Directors serve one-year terms, succeeded by At-Large Directors, who are elected by an at-large membership organization. ICANN plays a crucial role in transitioning and decentralizing domain registration from government oversight to private hands, fostering global integration.

Domain Name Registrars


Companies accredited by ICANN to manage domain registrations are known as designated registrars. There are numerous registrars providing these services. Some of the leading domain registrars include:

- GoDaddy
