A domain name is not given an IP address during registration.

I only know it last month :-) :-) :-(

Nowdays who applies for IP address (I suppose only web hosts) ?

IP address given by ICANN ?

IP addresses are a pyramid. The top level doles out whole blocks to
regions, who dole out blocks to organizations who dole out to
sub-organizations and/or individual addresses to individuals.

Thus for you to get an IP address you apply to one of those organisations (
a University, a company, an Internet Provider, etc)

They will also give you a domain name which is also heirarchical so that
the name to IP address translation can efficiently find that link.


Thanks.
