Dominios de primeiro nivel
Son dominios que, na estrutura do espazo de nomes DNS, se atopan baixo o dominio raíz. A un dominio deste tipo tamén se lle chama TLD (Top Level Domain).
Exemplos de dominios de primeiro nivel son:
.com.net.info.es
Da xestión dun dominio de primeiro nivel encárgase unha determinada organización que usa varios servidores DNS. Por exemplo, no ámbito nacional, a xestión do dominio .es está delegada na organización Red.es. Os servidores DNS de Red.es (de primeiro nivel) conteñen información relativa aos servidores de dominio de segundo nivel.
Exemplos de dominios de segundo nivel son:
mec.esxunta.es
Polo tanto, cada servidor de Red.es ten información sobre os servidores de dominios como mec.es e xunta.es.
WHOIS
Cando unha entidade desexa dispoñer dun dominio, debe rexistralo ante un rexistrador oficial autorizado pola ICANN. O rexistrador oficial solicita diferentes datos sobre esa entidade e envíaos á organización encargada da xestión do dominio de primeiro nivel. Algúns datos son:
- Nome de dominio
- Nome do rexistrador
- ID do administrador
- Datos do administrador (nome e correo electrónico)
- ID técnico
- URL do rexistrador
- Data de creación e expiración do rexistro
- Datos sobre as DNS que emprega
Por exemplo, cando unha persoa rexistra un dominio .es, o rexistrador envía esa información a Red.es. Red.es almacena un rexistro dos propietarios de cada dominio .es. Esta información chámase WHOIS e é pública. Se queremos consultar a quen pertence un dominio .es, podemos facelo a través da ferramenta de nic.es. No caso dun dominio .com, pódelo facer coa ferramenta ICANN Lockup.
Desde a entrada en vigor do Reglamento (EU) 2016/679 ou Reglamento Xeral de Protección de Datos (General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR) o 25 de maio de 2018, os datos dos titulares dos dominios están protexidos, de modo que non sempre se pode coñecer quen é o propietario dun dominio.
Se se desexa realizar consultas desde a terminal, en Linux debemos instalar o paquete whois co seguinte comando:
sudo apt install whois

As consultas WHOIS realízanse sobre dominios de segundo nivel. Se realizamos unha consulta sobre un subdominio non obteremos resultado. O propietario dos subdominios baixo un dominio de segundo nivel é o mesmo que o do dominio de segundo nivel.
Supoñamos a consulta seguinte:
$ whois google.com
O comando anterior devolverá a información WHOIS do dominio google.com.
Supoñamos que realizamos a seguinte consulta:
$ whois www.google.com
Este comando non devolverá a información WHOIS, pero xa sabemos que é a mesma do dominio google.com.
Clasificación
ICANN ten actualmente autorizados un gran número de TLDs. A IANA organiza estes TLDs nos seguintes grupos:
- gTLD
- grTLD
- sTLD
- ccTLD
- tTLD
- ARPA
gTLD
Un gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain) é un dominio xenérico. Os dominios xenéricos denomínanse así por razóns históricas: denominábanse xenéricos para diferencialos dos dominios territoriais. Na actualidade, un dominio xenérico é aquel que non se pode clasificar noutra categoría das definidas e poden ser adquiridos por calquera entidade.
Os primeiros gTLD definíronse en 1984 no RFC 920. Este primeiros dominios foron: .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .org. Nun incio tiñan todos tres letras, pero na actualidade non teñen porque ter tres letras, senón que poden ter dúas ou máis letras.
Exemplos de gTLDs son:
| gTLD | Destinado a | Xestor |
|---|---|---|
.com | Comercio | VeriSign Global Registry Services |
.net | Internet | VeriSign Global Registry Services |
.org | Organizacións | Public Interest Registry (PIR) |
.info | Información | Afilias Limited |
.education | Educación | Binky Moon, LLC |
.futbol | Fútbol | United TLD Holdco, Ltd. |
.email | Correo electrónico | Binky Moon, LLC |
.software | Software | United TLD Holdco, Ltd |
.app | Aplicacións | Charleston Road Registry Inc. |
Dentro dos xenéricos podemos incluír subcategorías como as seguintes:
- geoTLD (Geographic Top-Level Domain): son dominios destinados para áreas xeográficas, xeopolíticas, étnicas, lingüísticas ou culturais. Son dominios xestionados polo geoTLD group.
- brandTLD (Brand Top-Level Domain): dominios destinados a empresas ou marcas.
Exemplos geoTLDs son:
| Dominio | Área xeográfica | Xestor |
|---|---|---|
.gal | Galicia | Asociación puntoGAL |
.eus | País Vasco | Puntueus Fundazioa |
.berlin | Cidade de Berlín | dotBERLIN GmbH & Co. KG |
.bcn | Municipio de Barcelona | Municipi de Barcelona |
Exemplos de brandTLDs son:
| Dominio | Empresa ou marca |
|---|---|
.audi | Audi |
.bbc | BBC |
.google | |
.nike | Nike |
.playstation | PlayStation |
grTLD
Un grTLD (Generic-Restricted Top-Level Domain) é un dominio restrinxido para unha entidade concreta, é dicir, non calquera entidade pode adquirir un dominio de tipo grTLD e deben presentarse documentos xustificando conforme a que se cumpren os requisitos.
Exemplos de grTLDs son:
| grTLD | Reservado a | Xestor |
|---|---|---|
.biz | Empresas | Registry Services, LLC |
.pro | Profesionais certificados | Afilias Limited |
.name | Particulares | VeriSign Information Services, Inc. |
sTLD
Un sTLD (Sponsored Top-Level Domain) é un dominio patrocinado por unha fundación independente. Este tipo de dominios adoitan ser bastante caros.
Exemplos de sTLDs son:
| grTLD | Destinado a | Xestor |
|---|---|---|
.edu | Institucións educativas | EDUCAUSE |
.gov | Gobernos | General Services Administration |
.int | Organismos internacionais | Internet Assigned Numbers Authority |
.mil | Organismos de carácter militar | DoD Network Information Center |
.aero | Aeroportos | Societe Internationale de Telecommunications Aeronautique (SITA INC USA) |
.travel | Axencias de viaxe | Dog Beach, LLC |
ccTLD
Un ccTLD (Country Code Top-Level Domain) ou dominios de país representa o nome dun país. As dúas letras do país correspódense coas dúas letras establecidas na norma ISO 3166-1. Os dominios de segundo nivel que pertenzan a un destes dominios, deben pertencer ao país correspondente.
Exemplos de ccTLDs son:
| ccTLD | País | Xestor |
|---|---|---|
.es | España | Red.es |
.fr | Francia | Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (A.F.N.I.C.) |
.uk | Reino Unido | Nominet UK |
.ad | Andorra | Andorra Telecom |
.be | Bélxica | DNS Belgium vzw/asbl |
.it | Italia | IIT - CNR |
.ch | Suíza | SWITCH The Swiss Education & Research Network |
.ru | Rusia | Coordination Center for TLD RU |
.co | Colombia | Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies (MinTIC) |
.pe | Perú | Red Cientifica Peruana |
.us | Estados Unidos | NeuStar, Inc. |
Existen casos especiais de ccTLDs que non son de país (senón de territorio xeográfico), pero que o seu código aparece recollido na ISO 3166-1.
Exemplos de casos especiais de ccTLDs son:
| ccTLD | País |
|---|---|
.eu | Unión Europea |
.ic | Illas Canarias |
tTLD
Un tTLD (Test Top-Level Domain) é un dominio reservado para probas de software. O nome foi reservado en 1999 pola Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) no RFC 2606. Este tipo de dominio non é posible rexistralo en Internet, polo tanto, non vai haber rexistros DNS en servidores DNS de Internet.
| tTLD | Destinado a |
|---|---|
.test | Probas |
.example | Documentación e exemplos |
.invalid | Probas de erros |
.localhost | Probas en local |
ARPA
Existe un dominio reservado para a administración da infraestrutura de servidores DNS. O dominio reservado é .arpa (Address and Routing Parameter Area) e defínese no RCF 3172. A utilidade destes dominios, entre outras, é a de permitir a realización de resolucións inversas (reverse DNS lookup ou reverse DNS resolution), é dicir, obter direccións IP a partir de nomes de dominio.
