An international organization supervised World Wide Web called INTERNIC. This international organization or council authorized and appoints domain registrar. Typically Registrar will keep an eye on activities of different domains. They are authorized to sell domain names. They also keep records of domain names, servers (computer on which particular domain resides), and their administrators. This seems to be not very tough task.
Services offered by domain registrars
Apart from the above services, many registrars also sell other services also. Complication starts from here. Many registrars managed and run websites which offers different services which they are selling. Their websites designed in such a way that it is not easy to distinguish their domain registrar function with other commercial services. As there is no control for such activities the line becomes blurred more and more.
In the olden days
In the year 1995 when www is only in their teething stage, there is only one domain registrar in the USA. Network Solution was the only domain registrar that enjoys the monopoly in those days. But today the registration is spread among many multi national companies. These companies are permitted to manage affiliate programs also.
It is good idea to check different websites of domain registrar before buying the domain name. If you have already got your domain name then you have to contact your domain registrar to straighten some of the things.
Is it true that registrars take extra money for parking domain names?
No. It is not usual practice to charge any extra money for parking domains. Most registrars include parking domain name service in their registration fee. Most domain registrars advertise parking of domain for "free."
