DNSRegistrierungen
DNSRegistrierungen, also known as DNS registrations, are the foundational process by which domain names are made available for use on the internet. This process involves associating a unique, human-readable domain name, such as example.com, with a numerical IP address, which computers use to identify each other on a network. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) oversees the global domain name system and delegates authority to various domain name registrars. These registrars are accredited companies that allow individuals and organizations to register available domain names. When a user registers a domain name, they typically pay an annual fee to the registrar. This fee covers the cost of maintaining the domain name's entry in the global DNS database and ensures that the registration remains active. The registration process involves providing contact information, which is often made publicly available through WHOIS records, although privacy services can be utilized to mask this information. The duration of a DNS registration can vary, but it is usually for one or more years, and renewals are necessary to maintain ownership and prevent the domain name from expiring and becoming available for others to register.
