domain system.
2. Domain Registries (e.g., VeriSign) - Manage specific domains (e.g., .com, .net).
3. Domain Registrars (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) - Register domains for users.

How are domains created?

1. ICANN introduces new domains (e.g., .academy, .shop).


2. Domain Registries set up domain zones.
3. Domain Registrars register domains for
users.
