Registering the Domain

Registering the Domain

You now have a working DNS setup, but external resolvers cannot see it because there is no chain of delegations from the root nameservers to yours. You need to create this chain by registering the domain; that is, by paying the appropriate registration fees to an authority known as a registrar, which then delegates authority over the chosen zone to your nameservers.

Nothing is magical about what a registrar does. It has authority over a certain portion of the DNS database (say, the com. top-level domain [TLD]), and, for a fee, it delegates authority over a subdomain (example.com) to you. This delegation is accomplished by the same mechanisms that were explained earlier in the delegation of foo.example.com.

The site http://www.iana.org/domain-names.htm contains a list of all the TLDs and the corresponding registrars (of which there are now several). The procedure and fees for registering a domain vary wildly between them. Visit the website of the registrar in question and follow the procedures outlined there. After wading through the required amounts of red tape, your domain should be visible to the rest of the world.

Congratulations! Your job as a DNS administrator has just begun.
