I think this is had to learning by people who dedicated his time in cyberspace. Your domain name is registered somewhere out in cyberspace through an authorized domain name registrar. Do you know which one? Do you know who is listed as the registrant/owner of your domain names? A domain name registrar is the organization or company responsible for providing domain name registration services to the public. A domain name registrar is either authorized by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, an organization dedicated to Internet governance) to provide registration services or is authorized by its respective government to register domain names within a specific ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain name extension). A registrar must also be authorized by the registry of a Top Level Domain to act as an agent of the registry to process domain name registrations, where the agent is not a reseller. The registrar is also responsible for creating and maintaining a WHOIS database for its customers. God Helps Those Who Protect Their Domain Names: You know the sayings - an ounce of prevention - God helps those - a stitch in time. Nowhere are these sayings truer than in cyberspace. The internet is still akin to the Wild West. Lawlessness and chaos still abound. You would be shocked by the number of calls and emails everyday from established well-run companies who have lost control or ownership of their domain names. The cause of domain name problems is, more often than not, a failure of the company to protect its domain name from its own employees, third parties, vandals and scam artists.
