NamePrivacy Service - see WHOIS NamePrivacy Service
Name Server - A computer that maps domain
names (such as "mycompany.com") to IP addresses
(such as "123.123.4.5"). For a domain name to be
functional, it must be associated with at least one name server.

Network - A system of computers, databases, and
other components connected by communications lines
NIC - Network Information Center, such as InterNIC
NIC Handle - Used by Network Solutions. A unique identifier, comprised
of up to 10 alpha-numeric characters that is assigned to each contact record,
domain name record, and network record in the Network
Solutions database.
nslookup - Name Server Lookup; A UNIX utility used
to query Internet domain name
servers. An nslookup is usually used to find the IP
address corresponding to a hostname. An nslookup
may also be used to find other types of information such as CNAME
- the canonical name for an alias; MINFO - mailbox or
mail list information; MX - mail exchanger information;
NS - the name server for the named zone;
and SOA the domain's start-of-authority
information.

POP3 (see Post Office Protocol, Version 3)
Post Office Protocol, Version 3 (POP3) - A protocol
that allows a user to retrieve e-mail from a mail
server by way of an Internet connection. POP e-mail
is most useful for users who lack a permanent network connection since it
provides a virtual "post office" (the POP server) that
will hold e-mail until it can be retrieved. POP3 does
not specify a particular means of writing or sending mail; this function is
handled by a mail transfer protocol such as SMTP.
Primary Name Server - The first name
server queried when attempting to resolve an Internet address or domain
name. If the primary name server is unavailable, the domain name's secondary
name server (if one is defined) will be queried.
Protocol - A set of formal rules or conventions
governing the transmission, treatment, and formatting of data in an electronic
communications system.

are required by ICANN to allow public access to certain
domain name registration information, including the name of the registrant,
administrative and technical

is the Web site that provides this information for
NameSecure.
