11. What is a TLD/What does TLD mean?

October 16

TLD means Top Level Domain.

All domains have a TLD and it is the .net, .com, .org, .biz, .info, etc., portion of a domain name. The term TLD refers to any (or all) of the top-level domain names. You may also see references to Country Specific TLD’s. Country specific domains are controlled by the country (or company authorized by the country) in which they refer. I.E.

  1. .us TLD for United States,
  2. .mx TLD for Mexico,
  3. .uk TLD for United Kingdom,
  4. .in for India.

All domains in all TLD’s can be accessed, in the same fashion, using a browser.

One of the initial ideas behind differing TLD’s was to distinguish between different organization types to make retrieval of information faster. Though some TLD’s like .edu (for educational organization) require validation for using the TLD, others like .com (for commercial) can and are used for nearly any purpose.

10. Registry, Registrar, Registrant. What do these words mean?

October 16


What is a Registry?

A registry is a company or organization that maintains a centralized registry database for the Top-Level Domains. Currently there is only one Registry for every Top-Level domain, .com, .net and .org. NSI Registry maintains this Registry.

 


What is a Registrar?

A registrar is an ICANN accredited company or organization that is authorized to provide registration services for the top-level domains such as .com, .org and .net. Registrars have contractual agreements with their customers. A Registrar submits all newly registered domains into the Registry.

 


What is a Registrant?

The Registrant is the owner of a Domain Name. The owner may be an individual or an organization to whom a specific Domain Name is registered.

When a Registrant registers a Domain Name and enters a contractual agreement with the Registrar, they are the legal owner of a domain name for a specific period of time. The Registrant is bound by the terms of the service agreement.
For example, Divyesh Patel (Registrant) registers the name ‘divyeshpatel.com’ through the Registrar who in turn writes the name to the central database (NSI Registry).

8. What is a name server?

October 16

In the simplest form a name server is a computer that contains a list of domain names and the associated IP addresses.

When a domain name is typed in a Web browser’s address bar, the name server associates that with the IP address, and the correct Web site — barring any unforeseen difficulties — opens in the Web browser window.

7. What is the domain name system?

October 16

The domain name system (DNS) enables each machine connected on the Internet to be recognized by a domain name.

Every computer on the Internet has a unique IP (Internet protocol) address which consists of a string of numbers. Since the IP addresses can be difficult to remember, the DNS allows a familiar string of letters (the “domain name”) to be used instead of the IP address. So instead of typing the IP address’ arcane string of numbers you can type, for example, “www.espn.com.”
