Registrar

A registrar provides direct services to domain name registrants. The registrar database contains customer information in addition to the DNSi information contained in the Registryi database. Registrars process name registrations for Internet end-users and then send the necessary DNS information to a Registry for entry into the centralized Registry database and ultimate propagation over the Internet. There are multiple registrars providing registration services through TLDi registries. (See http://www.interNIC.net/)
