Domain Name Registries<br />

Every country has its own assigned top-level domain (ccTLD) in <strong>the</strong> form of a<br />

digraph: .de for Germany, .bo for Bolivia, etc. Finding <strong>the</strong> ccTLD administrator that<br />

registered a particular domain name is vital for finding all <strong>the</strong> available data<br />

registered about that name and its assigned IP address. Because local registries<br />

have <strong>the</strong> added responsibility for assigning domain names, <strong>the</strong>y usually maintain<br />

separate databases that often provide more information than <strong>the</strong> regional<br />

repositories. Most national registries offer some kind of a searchable database of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir registered domain names. Country-level registries are some of <strong>the</strong> best places<br />

to search for information about specific domains.<br />

A number of <strong>web</strong>sites list links to domain name registries around <strong>the</strong> world. All<br />

<strong>the</strong>se sites present complete, up-to-date lists of Internet country codes (aka<br />

ccTLDs). Domain Name Registries Around <strong>the</strong> World offers both a country and<br />

digraph sort; lANA only lists <strong>the</strong> codes alphabetically by digraph.<br />
