What/who allows websites like Godaddy to sell domains?
I recently bought my first website from Godaddy, and it raised some questions.
The ability to sell domains is pretty incredible, when you think about it — you own the name of pretty much every website in the world (That’s not taken).
But what allows website to own and sell the domain addresses? I’m sure it’s not as easy as just writing a code — I would like to know what/who allows such websites to sell domains.

ICANN does.
I’m really sorry for this, but I just can’t help myself:
Who can take a sunrise,
Sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two
The ICANN Man, the ICANN Man can,
The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow,
Wrap it in a sigh?
Soak it in the sun and make the stra’bry lemon pie
The ICANN Man? The ICANN Man can
The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
The ICANN Man makes
everything he bakes
Satisfying and delicious.
Talk about your childhood wishes.
You can even eat the dishes!
Who can take tomorrow,
Dip it in a dream?
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream,
The ICANN Man? The ICANN Man can, the ICANN Man can
The ICANN Man can ’cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good
And the world tastes good
’cause the ICANN Man thinks it should
