Domains Glossary: ARIN
American Registry for Internet Numbers. A non-profit registry responsible for the administration and registration of Internet Protocol (IP) numbers in North and South America, South Africa, the Caribbean and all other regions administered currently managed by Network Solutions.
ARIN
was established to allocate or assign Internet Protocol (IP) address space to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and end-users. A distinction is made between address allocation and address assignment, i.e., ISPs are "allocated" address space, while end-users are "assigned" address space. ISPs are allocated blocks of IP addresses for the purpose of assigning or further allocating that space to their customers, while end-users receive assignments of IP addresses exclusively for use in their operational networks.
