Registry? Registrar? Registrant? What do these words mean?

There is one Registry for every Top-Level Domain. For example: A Registrar is a company that can enter new domains into the Registry. ProExe use the most appropiate Registrar depending on the chosen domain name. We don't use an exclusive Registrar, as we shop around to get the best deal for our clients. The Registrant is the individual or organisation that registers a particular domain name. For example, Joe Bloggs (registrant) registers the name joebloggs.com through OpenSRS (One of ProExe registrar's) who in turn writes the name to the central database (VeriSign, Inc., the registry). | |
