What am I paying the registry for?
Sometimes our customers ask (and with right) "what is it we are paying ISNIC for"? The short version of the answer is to explain what happens if ISNIC stops servicing the domain. Then neither email nor the webpage will be found, in fact the domain disappears off the internet!
Companies like ISNIC are called Registries. They are only about 200 in the world, and they manage the worldwide Domain Name System (DNS) together.
The central operation of ISNIC is to run the DNS for the Top Level Domain .is, but all domains need a DNS-service to be found on the Internet. The domain and the DNS is a simple but clever and very effective way to find an IP-address which then connects users to an email or a web server on the Internet. Even though you might change your ip-address (i.e. your hosting) the domain will stay unchanged.
Many videos can be found on YouTube that explain the DNS-system. One of the good ones is DNS Basics, prepared by Johnson T. Rafallo, a young network and computer technician student.

R.I.P. Steve Jobs
A true leader and pioneer in the world of computers, Mr. Steve Jobs, has passed away - at only 56 years of age. The economist.com states today: "NOBODY else in the computer industry, or any other industry for that matter, could put on a show like Steve Jobs...".
As many of our customers know, ISNIC has been familiar with Steve's products for a long time - but our offices have only used Apple computers for years, because they envelope our needs as a registry for quality, reliability and security.

.is Domain name registration
ISNIC - Internet á Íslandi hf. manages the registry for the .is
country-code top-level domain according to the principles specified in the
registration rules of .is domains.
The purpose of these rules is to ensure the security, efficiency and transparency of
the domain delegation and registration process. The registration of a domain confers
rights to the use of the domain name according to ISNIC rules
at any time but does not confer ownership of the domain.
A domain's registration certificate can be displayed by typing the domain in
the WHOIS field (top right corner).
The domain's NIC-handles are used to log in and modify the domain's registration information.
New users must first obtain a NIC-handle -- Contacts->Register to the left,
and then log on to register a new domain via Domains->Register.
