Registrar

A domain name registrar is a company, accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), to register Internet domain names. These "retail" companies are often distinct from the "wholesale" domain name registry operator.

 

ICANN has authority over generic top-level domains, or gTLDs. Examples of gTLDs include .com, .net, .org and .mobi. ICANN does not have authority over ccTLDs, or Country Code Top-Level Domains, although it is quite common for domain name registrars to offer ccTLD registration services as well. Most registrars provide DNS hosting service, but this is not required, and is often considered a separate service.
