power to assign names for the top-level domain. The United States relies on The US Domain Registry to administer the registration of second-level domain names under the .US top-level domain. However, prior to 1999, a company called Network Solutions Inc. (NSI) was solely responsible for the registration of second-level domain names. For the more popular top-level domains, including .COM, .NET, and .ORG. Network Solutions Inc. had a great amount of control over how domain name were registered, because of the vast majority of domain names are under one of these top-level domains.
