| InterNIC
The InterNIC organization was formed in 1993 to handle domain name
registrations. While Network Solutions manages the group, the National
Science Foundation, AT&T, and General Atomics also play a part in how the
organization is run. InterNIC also maintains a database of domain names,
so you can search to see if the one you want is available. Point your
browser at InterNIC, click Registration Services, and then Whois. Here,
you'll find guidelines for researching the availability of a domain name. |
