In the begining when the internet started as a DOD project, there was one top level registar. Its name is Network Solutions, when their contract ran out a few years ago it was made possible for others to register domain names. You only have to have single control over the top level domain, eg.. .com .net .edu . You can have multiple registars that cover different domains. One could apply to create a new top level domain say " .vw " and they could be the registar for that domain. This is what alot of countries are doing so they control the sub-domainnames in their particular top level. Does this make any sense, or did I just confuse the hell out of everyone?
