TLD (Top-Level Domain) registries
A Top-Level Domain (TLD) registry is an organization responsible for managing and overseeing specific domain names under a particular extension, such as .com, .org, or .net. When you want to register a website, you choose a domain name that ends with a TLD. The registry ensures the domain names are unique and maintains the database of registered names. For example, the registry for .com handles all domain names that end in .com, ensuring they are available and not duplicated, while also enforcing rules and regulations for that domain space.
