[tanjimajuha20]

top-level domains

In the early days of the Internet, top-level domains such as .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .org and .net were intended to indicate the area in which a server operator malaysia phone data
was located: company, educational institution, authority, etc. Such top-level domains are called "generic" TLDs, or gTLDs for short. At the same time, the first country-specific TLDs (ccTLDs; "cc" stands for "country code") were introduced. Well-known ccTLDs are .de for Germany, .at for Austria, .ch for Switzerland and .fr for France.

is constantly increasing and there are fewer and fewer useful character combinations available for popular TLDs such as .com and .de, new gTLDs have been gradually introduced since 2001. Today there are over 1,500 TLDs, but not all of them can be registered with every service provider. At DomainFactory you will find a large selection of generic TLDs.

The administration of domains

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is responsible for the worldwide administration and coordination of the Domain Name System and the allocation of unique domain names. It delegates the administration of individual TLDs to central domain name registries (registries for short). These registries or allocation bodies operate the name servers and manage the domain names allocated under their TLD. For example, DENIC does this for the .de domain, the American company Verisign does this for .com, .net and .name, and the Belgian company EURid does it for .eu. Most gTLDs are so-called "sponsored gTLDs", where sponsors, for example industry associations, organizations or private companies, take over administration and regulate allocation and prices ( ICANN Registry Listings ).

domain registration
The actual registration of domain names for website owners is carried out by so-called registrars, for example DomainFactory, which must be accredited by ICANN or the relevant registry. They act as intermediaries between you as the future domain owner and the registry.

You cannot purchase domain names permanently. However, you can register a domain for a specific period of time. The term is usually one year and is usually extended automatically as long as the necessary requirements are met.

Requirements for registration

Please note: Because the rules for allocating TLDs are set by the registries, registration is sometimes tied to certain requirements. For example, those interested in .hamburg must prove a connection to the Hanseatic city (home, employment, place of birth, etc.). But don't worry: Of the approximately 230 TLDs that DomainFactory currently offers, almost all can be registered without restrictions.
