6 Domains 101 Parties Involved in Domain Registration Registry: A database associating DNS information with some person, legal entity, operational entity, or other referent. The registry operator keeps the master database and also generates the "zone file" which allows computers to route Internet traffic to and from top-level domains anywhere in the world. Internet users don't interact directly with the registry operator. Registrar: An entity with a direct contractual relationship with, and special access to, a registry, that inserts records on behalf of others. Registrant/Owner/Holder/Licensee: The registrant is the owner of a domain name. The owner may be an individual or an organization to which a specific domain name is registered. When a registrant registers a domain name and enters a contractual agreement
