What/who allows websites like Godaddy to sell domains?

Posted on Nov 21, 2009 under GoDaddy.com | 3 Comments

I recently bought my first website from Godaddy, and it raised some questions.

The ability to sell domains is pretty incredible, when you think about it — you own the name of pretty much every website in the world (That’s not taken).

But what allows website to own and sell the domain addresses? I’m sure it’s not as easy as just writing a code — I would like to know what/who allows such websites to sell domains.

    ICANN does.

    I’m really sorry for this, but I just can’t help myself:

    Who can take a sunrise,
    Sprinkle it with dew?
    Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
    The ICANN Man, the ICANN Man can,
    The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
    and makes the world taste good

    Who can take a rainbow,
    Wrap it in a sigh?
    Soak it in the sun and make the stra’bry lemon pie
    The ICANN Man? The ICANN Man can
    The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
    and makes the world taste good

    The ICANN Man makes
    everything he bakes
    Satisfying and delicious.
    Talk about your childhood wishes.
    You can even eat the dishes!

    Who can take tomorrow,
    Dip it in a dream?
    Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream,
    The ICANN Man? The ICANN Man can, the ICANN Man can
    The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
    and makes the world taste good
    And the world tastes good
    ’cause the ICANN Man thinks it should

    If you want some real information about ICANN and what its purpose is, you can read about them at the ICANN website: http://www.icann.org/en/about/
