● Ex:- .com , .net , .edu , .org etc.


● Domain Name Registrar:A domain name registrar is an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names.

A domain name registrar must be accredited by a Generic top-level domain (gTLD) registry and/or a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry.

The management is done in accordance with the guidelines of the designated domain name registries and to offer such services to the public.m

Domain Chain:

Registry –- Registrar –- Reseller –- Registrant

Registry (Domain Name):

An organization responsible for assigning domain names for the TLD that they manage. Furthermore, it is their responsibility to update the global DNS tables that all nameservers use to resolve domain names. For example, InterNIC is the registry for .COM, .NET and .ORG domain names.

Registrar (Domain Name):

Some registries don't provide the ability for end users to register domains with them directly. They might require end users to purchase the domain through an internet provider that is acting as the registrar.

Registrant (Domain Name):

The entity, organization or individual that will be using the domain name.


● Domain Life Cycle:


● Domain Transfer: Domain name transfer is the process of changing the designated registrar of a domain name.

● Domain Locking: Domain locking is a free security enhancement offered by Hostin! to prevent unauthorized transfers of your domain to another registrar or web host by "locking" your domain name servers.

. When your domain is locked, you'll be substantially protected from unauthorized third parties who might try to misdirect your name servers or transfer your domain without your permission


Domain Privacy Protection:Domain privacy is a service offered by a number of domain name registrars.

A user buys privacy from the company, who in turn replaces the user's info in the WHOIS with the info of a forwarding service (for email and sometimes postal mail, done by a proxy server) such as "Domains by Proxy, Inc." or eNom's "ID Protect".

Domain Parking:

Domain parking is the registration of an Internet domain name without using it for services such as e-mail or a website i.e. without placing any content on the domain.

This may be done to reserve the domain name for future development, to protect against the possibility of cybersquatting, or to engage in cybersquatting.
