[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2342682, member: 130638"] These three words are commonly used in domain name investing and can be confusing in the beginning. The [B]registry[/B] manages top-level domains and delegates who have the ability to create new domains. The easiest way of remembering this is that the registry is behind the string right of the dot. The registry is Verisign if "com" follows while it's Donuts if it's "ninja". The [B]registrar[/B] allows users to create new domain names by connecting and communicating with the registry. At times, the registrar may be owned by the same company as the registry as they can collect fees on both ends. A [B]registrant[/B] is you, the person that registers or possesses a domain name at any registrar. [/QUOTE]
