NIC handle
Encyclopedia : N : NI : NIC : NIC handle
A NIC handle (Network Information Centre handle) is an unique alpha-numeric character sequence that represents an entry in the databases maintained by Network Information Centres. When a new domain name is registered with a domain name registrar, a NIC handle is assigned by the registrar to the particular set of information associated with that domain name (such as who registered it and a contact e-mail address). Once a domain name has been registered, its NIC handle can be used to search for that record in the database.
