When I register for a domain name, it asks me for information about the “owner”, the “administrator” (admin contact), and “billing contact.” What are they?
The “owner” is the person who ultimately controls the domain. This person has the right to use the domain name or sell it or do whatever with it. The “administrator” is someone the owner can designate to act for the owner, in effect taking over control of the domain for the owner. The “billing contact” is the person who should receive renewal notices. These may all be the same person which is easy to do when registering by simply checking a box.
