The DNS service enters into contracts that give the client (contractee) the right to administer a single DNS name, and possibly to create subnames. Ownership of a name under the contract is conveyed by a contract warrant. From this warrant other, more restrictive, warrants can be derived in order to delegate rights on particular names to DNS-aware third parties (e.g. HTTP server).
