A '''[[Registry]]''' is the database of all domain names registered under a certain [[TLD]]. A '''Registry Operator''', also known as a '''Network Information Center (NIC)''', refers to person(s) or entity(ies) responsible for providing registry services. These services include customer database administration, zone file publication, [[DNS]] and [[DNSSEC]] operation, marketing and policy determination. A Registry may outsource some, all, or none of these services. Different registries exist for different [[TLD]]s.
