13. What can I do if the requested domain is unavailable?

April 06

If the domain name you want is unavailable you have the following options:

  • Choose a different TLD. There are several different TLD’s to choose from.
  • Choose a different domain name. Adding or removing just one letter makes your domain name different, and may be available for registration.
  • You can contact the current registrant to determine if they are willing to sell you the domain name.
  • If you feel that the domain name should be legally yours because of a trademark violation, etc. see the domain name Dispute Resolution Policy

12. Who is ICANN/Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers?

April 06

Formed in October 1998, the ICANN – Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is a non-profit, private sector corporation with a volunteer board of directors.

ICANN was formed with the chief responsibility for coordinating four key functions for the Internet:

  1. the management of the Domain Name system,
  2. the allocation of IP address space,
  3. the assignment of protocol parameters, and
  4. the management of the root server system.

 

For a company or organization to operate as a Registrar, they must first obtain ICANN accreditation.

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.
