ICANN Accredited Registrar

What is ICANN?
ICANN or The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is a nonprofit private organization which was created to oversee a number of internet-related tasks. ICANN is quite often referred to as the governing body of the Internet and is responsible for the co-ordination of the global internet’s systems of unique identifiers and, in particular, ensuring its stable and secure operation.
Importance of ICANN & ICANN accreditation
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer — a name or a number. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination, we wouldn’t have one global Internet. ICANN has contracts with registries (such as dot-com or dot-info) and registrars (companies that sell domain names to individuals and organizations, such as TrustP), that help define how the domain name system functions and expands.
