What is Domain ID?

This is the unique ID assigned by the registry to the domain. Each registry have different policies, and even the WHOIS response is different from registry to registry.It's reasonable to assume that the Domain ID for PIR (the .ORG registry) is equivalent to the Registry Domain ID for Verisign (the .COM registry).The ID is not really used anywhere publicly. You don't need it to manage the domain, nor to perform WHOIS lookups. Is probably used internally by the registry to represent the domain, and you can use it in external systems to uniquely identify that specific domain instance as it should be guaranteed to be unique, but beyond that is not a particularly meaningful information.
