About domain name registration...

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is a non-profit corporation that is responsible for managing the assignment of domain names. ICANN accredits a number of domain name registrars, these registrars then delegate or lease the domain name to an end user or registrar. Once a registrant has leased or bought a domain name from a registrar they are free to use or develop it as they see fit. All registry information (the information you provide when registering a domain) that is associated with active domain names is maintained and made available through the WHOIS service (please see links section).

A top level domain (TLD) is the highest level of domain name on the internet. The further most right label in a domain name is the TLD. In the domain name ‘example.com’ the TLD is ‘.com’, with ‘example’ forming a subdomain of the TLD. Two main groups of domains exist, generic top level domains (gTLD’s) and country code top level domains (ccTLD’s), there are also other small groups of domain names.

gTLD’s themselves fall into two main categories:

Unrestricted – Those that are available for registration by anybody for any use, these include .com, .net, .org and .info.

Sponsored or restricted – A specialised TLD sponsored by a specific community such as .edu (educational), .gov (US Government), and .aero (Air-transport agency).
