How to Identify Your Domain Registrar

A domain registrar manages the reservation of domain names. When you purchase a domain name through a registrar, they allow you to perform the following administrative actions:

  • Manage the contact information on the registration entry.

    • Some registrars offer anonymous registration services (WHOIS Privacy).
  • Manage the nameservers that your domain uses.

  • Manage DNSSEC, which is a security feature for domains.

This document will explain how to identify your domain’s registrar.
