Ask HN: Why ICANN Domain Names Are Owned via GoDaddy?
When I looked up icann.org on lookup.icann.org, it said it was registered through GoDaddy. Why?

- fuckxijinping 4y agoI confirmed it, whois record said it was registered via GoDaddy. Maybe it is because of GoDaddy is the biggest domain name registry company.

- xiyueuyix 4y agoGoDaddy has the IANA Registrar ID #146,so I think it is not the oldest internet domain registrar company. Since ICANN rules the internet, they shouldn't use an unreliable company like this, why didn't ICANN use Network Solutions which has the IANA Registrar ID #2(#1 is reserved)? Hence,Network Solutions is trusted and used by the United Nations and its bodies. GoDaddy did really bad things, so why did ICANN ever do this?
