Registrar

A registrar or domain name provider registers domain names to registrants. The registrar database contains customer information in addition to the Domain Name System (DNS) information contained in the registry database. Registrars process name registrations for Internet end-users and then send the necessary DNS information to a registry for entry into the centralised registry database and ultimate propagation over the Internet. Sometimes other services are provided such as email accounts, page parking and web hosting.
