The general public [[Internet]] uses a [[Domain Name System]] (DNS) to associate the names of computers with their numeric [[IP address]]es. Names are resolved in a recursive process from the front of a name like '''en.wikipedia.org''' to the last or [[top-level domain]] name (TLDs, in the example ".org"). These TLDs are controlled by so-called 'root servers' authorized in various regions of the earth by different organizations and in the United States by the [[Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] (ICANN). As an alternative to this global system of inter-operating sanctioned authorities various organizations operate '''alternative DNS roots''' (often referred to as '''alt roots''') and administer their own specific name spaces including the TLDs. | The general public [[Internet]] uses a [[Domain Name System]] (DNS) to associate the names of computers with their numeric [[IP address]]es.
