February 23, 200620 yr Who is resposible for .com, .us, .org, and all the other domains? Where does the money go when I purchase a domain?
February 23, 200620 yr I believe it goes to the people who manage the servers that manage the .com's etc...Not sure thought...Hoped I helped a bit... :wink:
February 23, 200620 yr Some of it goes to the domain name registrant, some of it ends up with ICANN. The "about" page at ICANN's website has some goo info. http://www.icann.org/
February 23, 200620 yr ICANN own most of the top level domains such as .com and .net and ultimatly they are in control of them. But you have to buy your domains through a registrar and they take their cut too. Will cost you less than $9 for a .com with http://www.namecheap.com and about $5 of that probably goes to ICANN Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.
