Who applies for IP address

A domain name is not given an IP address during registration.

I only know it last month :-) :-) :-(

Nowdays who applies for IP address (I suppose only web hosts) ?

IP address given by ICANN ?

Thanks.

(I am learning about internet).

IP addresses are assigned to Internet service providers and large end
users by regional registries whose purpose is to allocate such
addresses. ICANN gives large blocks of IP addresses to these
registries. For the United States (and Canada, Jamaica, Bermuda, and
so on), the registry is ARIN.

IP addresses are a pyramid. The top level doles out whole blocks to
regions, who dole out blocks to organizations who dole out to
sub-organizations and/or individual addresses to individuals.

Thus for you to get an IP address you apply to one of those organisations (
a University, a company, an Internet Provider, etc)

They will also give you a domain name which is also heirarchical so that
the name to IP address translation can efficiently find that link.

This is the kind of info that will take a long time to arrive at on
the net, I think.

Thanks.

Actually it was quite easy to find:

Your ISP.

Yes, there is a lot more to it than that, but if you don't know what it
is, there is precisely zero chance of your obtaining membership in ARIN
and being delegated your own AS and netblock.
