Registry

A registry is an organisation normally only responsible for one extension and registers this extension generally only to registrars directly and not to registrants. The registry database contains only Domain Name Service (DNS) information (domain dame, name server names and name server Internet Protocol [IP] numbers) along with the name of the domain name provider that registered the name and basic transaction data. It does not contain any registrant or contact information.
