CoRnMaN Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Who is resposible for .com, .us, .org, and all the other domains? Where does the money go when I purchase a domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarfie76 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 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.
