Frequently Asked Questions: The Internet An IP Address is an identifying set of numbers assigned to a computer. Your IP address is used every time you visit a website and can be used to trace an Internet activity to your computer. Servers use IP addresses so that your computer can be able to find the data you are looking for. Various organizations manage different parts of the Internet.
Internic was an organization created by the United States Department of Commerce to be used for registering domains in the General Top Level Domains (.com, .net, .org only). Before Internic's brief existence was terminated, ICANN was created to manage the GTLDs and to assist with CCTLDs. Internic was the first registrar of domain names. Internic was terminated to allow more organizations to have a chance to profit from registering domain names, and to also allow for competition, so that the prices can be made lower for registrations (they used to be $50 per year, now you can get one for $10). The remnants of what used to be Internic is Network Solutions (NETSOL.com), which is now owned by Verisign. The general tasks left over from Internic, that weren't handled by ICANN have now been given to Verisign-GRS (VERISIGN-GRS.com) What keeps Curtis M. Kularski online? I use Road Runner as my Internet Service Provider. I use GraniteCanyon and Secondary.com for my DNS servers. I use Virtual Avenue and HyperMart for my web hosting (what actually keeps this page online). I use AWebHosting, Inc and Everyone.NET for my e-mail hosting. AWebHosting is my favorite e-mail host. |
