Domain names are managed under a hierarchy headed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which manages the top of the DNS tree by administrating the data in the root name servers. Most Domain Name Registrars also offer Domain Name Registry. The allocated and assigned domain names are made available by registries by use of the WHOIS system and via their domain name servers.WHOIS Web Design Workshop
