A domain name registrar is an organization or individual that manages the registration of Internet domain names. A domain name registrar must be accredited by a generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry or a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry. Registrars provide access to the Domain Name System (DNS), manage contact information for domain name holders, and implement other security measures such as whoisprivacy and DNSSEC.
When a company or individual decides to register a new domain name, they must select a registrar. Once they have found an available domain name and determined which TLD they would like to register it under, they can begin the registration process with their chosen registrar.
The first step in registering a new domain is to check whether it is available. If the desireddomain name is already registered to another party, the registrant will need to choose anotherdomain name. If the desireddomain name is available, the registrant can proceed with registeringit.
To register a new domain, the registrant must provide their personal contact information includingtheirname, mailing address, phone number, and email address. They will also need to select at leasttwo DNS servers for theirnewdomainand provide administrative, billing, and technical contactsfor theirdomainname. Thesecontacts will be responsible for managingtheDomain Name System settings associatedwiththe newdomainname.
