Registrar directory

A WHOIS record names the registrar by its legal entity, which is often not the brand you bought from. This directory maps the two, with the IANA ID that settles any doubt.

Names identify companies so that records can be read. They do not imply partnership or endorsement. OrbitProbe receives nothing from any registrar listed here; there are no prices, ratings or rankings on these pages.

International

Registrars that sell worldwide, including wholesale platforms and corporate registrars whose names appear in many records.

GoDaddy

GoDaddy.com, LLC · IANA registrar ID 146

GoDaddy is a registrar and hosting company headquartered in Arizona, United States. Records for domains bought through its retail site name GoDaddy.com, LLC; its reseller channel uses a separate accreditation, Wild West Domains, LLC, so a domain bought from a GoDaddy reseller shows that name instead.

Namecheap

NameCheap, Inc. · IANA registrar ID 1068

Namecheap is a registrar and hosting company based in the United States. It has been accredited in its own name for years, so its domains show NameCheap, Inc. rather than a wholesale partner.

Tucows Domains Inc. · IANA registrar ID 69

Tucows Domains is a Canadian registrar based in Toronto. It runs the OpenSRS wholesale platform, which many hosting companies resell, and the retail brand Hover. A record that names Tucows Domains Inc. therefore often belongs to a customer of a reseller.
