What is a Registrar?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support

A Registrar is an organization or company that is usually authorized by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) to provide registration services for the global top level domain (TLD) names. The only exception is when a Registrar is authorized by its respective government to register domain names within a specific TLD (domain name extension).

A registrar provides direct services to domain name registrants. The registrar database contains customer information in addition to the DNS information contained in the Registry database. Registrars process name registrations for Internet end-users and then send the necessary DNS information to a Registry for entry into the centralized Registry database and ultimate propagation over the Internet.
