''' American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)''' is one of the five [[RIR|Regional Internet Registries]].


'''ARIN''' is the acronym for ''' American Registry for Internet Numbers''' and represents the Regional Internet Registry ([[RIR]]).

ARIN is a non-profit corporation which aims to serve number resources to Internet users throughout its region, such as [[ISP|Internet Service Providers]], governments, and other end-users.

During the 1980s, [[Jon Postel]] was responsible for the assignment of IP Addresses. However, as the Internet grew this task, which he had volunteered for,  became much more difficult; thus, [[IANA]]  was created.

Due to the fact that today there are plenty of software programs being developed with the purpose to abuse networks, ARIN can provide further information regarding such network abuses because within the Whois Database of ARIn there can be found detailed information related to IP Addresses, and other such details. In the same way, within the Whois database of ARIN can be found information related to other RIR because such data is being shared. Thus, ARIN is in constant communication and collaboration with AfriNIC (the registry for Africa), APNIc (the registry for Asia Pacific), LACNIC (the registry for Latin American) and RIPE NCC (the registry for Europe and the Middle East).  
In the early 1990's the general Internet community agreed upon the separation between the management of domain names and the management of [[IP Address|IP Addresses]].
