In the world of computer networking, a registrar acts like a middleman for your

website's address on the internet. They deal with the behind-the-scenes tasks of
registering and managing your domain name.

Here's a breakdown of what registrars do:

1. Domain Name Sales: Imagine the internet as a giant neighborhood. Registrars are like the
companies that sell addresses in this neighborhood. These addresses are called domain
names, which are easy-to-remember names for websites (like [invalid URL removed]).
2. Registration and Management: When you buy a domain name through a registrar, they
handle the registration process with a bigger organization called ICANN (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). They also keep track of your ownership
information and renewal dates.
3. Not DNS: It's important to note that registrars are separate from Domain Name System
(DNS) providers. While registrars manage your domain name registration, DNS providers
translate those names into numerical IP addresses that computers use to find your website.

Here are some popular domain name registrars:

● Google Domains
● GoDaddy
● Namecheap
● Network Solutions

I hope this explanation clarifies the role of registrars in computer communication networking!
