What are registrants, registrars, and registries?

0

A registry is an entity that maintains the master database of domain names for a particular top-level domain (TLD). Below are the registries we work with and their corresponding TLDs (extensions): VeriSign .COM & .NET PIR .ORG Afilias .INFO NeuLevel .BIZ NeuStar .US The registry receives domain name information from registrars, who register domain names on behalf of registrants-people like you who would like to register and use a domain name. The registry puts that information into what is called a “zone file,” which allows computers to route Internet traffic to and from domains around the world.
