Overview of this book

Managing your organization's naming architecture and mitigating risks within complex naming environments is very important. This book will go beyond looking at “how to run a name server” or “how to DNSSEC sign a domain”, Managing Mission Critical Domains & DNS looks across the entire spectrum of naming; from external factors that exert influence on your domains to all the internal factors to consider when operating your DNS. The readers are taken on a comprehensive guided tour through the world of naming: from understanding the role of registrars and how they interact with registries, to what exactly is it that ICANN does anyway? Once the prerequisite knowledge of the domain name ecosystem is acquired, the readers are taken through all aspects of DNS operations. Whether your organization operates its own nameservers or utilizes an outsourced vendor, or both, we examine the complex web of interlocking factors that must be taken into account but are too frequently overlooked. By the end of this book, our readers will have an end to end to understanding of all the aspects covered in DNS name servers.

Registries, Registrars, and Whois

In this chapter, we will look at Registries and Registrars, the differences between them, and why it matters to you. Then, we will look at "The Whois," a global database that contains data about domain name registrants, which leads us into intellectual property issues, such as trademarks and domain name disputes.

In this chapter, we will cover the following:

  • Registries and Registrars
  • Types of Top-Level Domains (TLDs)
  • Registrars and Resellers
  • Whois
  • Whois Privacy
  • Where Whois is going
