IANA — Root Zone Database

The Root Zone Database represents the delegation details of top-level domains, including gTLDs such as .com, and country-code TLDs such as .uk. As the manager of the DNS root zone, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for coordinating these delegations in accordance with its policies. The database contains a vast array of information, including domain names, type, and TLD manager. With over 1,500 TLDs currently in operation, the Root Zone Database plays a vital role in ensuring the stability and security of the internet. Key features of the database include its comprehensive coverage of TLDs, regular updates to reflect changes in the DNS landscape, and adherence to ICANN's policies and procedures. The Root Zone Database is an essential resource for registrars, registries, and other stakeholders in the domain name industry, providing a single source of truth for TLD delegations and enabling the efficient operation of the internet's naming system.
