domæneregistrator

A domæneregistrator, also known as a domain name registrar, is an organization accredited by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to manage the reservation of internet domain names. These registrars act as intermediaries between domain name registrants and domain name registries, which are responsible for maintaining the authoritative database of domain names within a specific top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, .org, or country-code TLDs like .dk.

When an individual or organization wishes to register a domain name, they do so through a domæneregistrator. The registrar verifies the availability of the desired domain name and, if available, facilitates the registration process. This typically involves collecting the registrant's contact information and payment. The registrar then communicates this information to the relevant domain registry, which adds the domain name to its database.

Domæneregistrators are responsible for maintaining accurate records of domain name registrations, including registrant details and registration expiry dates. They also provide services such as domain name transfers, renewals, and DNS (Domain Name System) management. Customers interact with registrars through their websites, where they can search for available domains, register new ones, and manage their existing domain portfolios. The services and pricing offered by domæneregistrators can vary significantly.
