registration - Computer Definition

To sign up to a website by entering name, address, e-mail address, etc., and very often creating a password to log in. Websites may offer free information, news and other services but require registration in order to learn more about the user. Unscrupulous website publishers may also sell their users' e-mail addresses. As registered users frequent the site, the publisher derives demographics about its audience and can target ads and services that make the site more profitable. For the user, registration makes logging in again faster, and it may enable the site to tailor information to the user.

registration - Investment & Finance Definition

The process by which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or a state securities authority reviews a potential stock or debt offering that will be sold to the public. The rules that must be followed are outlined in the Securities Exchange Acts that were passed in 1933 and 1934, and their subsequent amendments. The registration statement filed with the SEC lists the purpose of the offering, identifies the underwriter, and contains detailed information about the company’s business, such as its management team, products and services, competitive position, and other financial information.
