     7  ## Introduction
     8  
     9  A Registry is a hosted service containing
    10  [*repositories*](/terms/repository/#repository-def) of
    11  [*images*](/terms/image/#image-def) which responds to the Registry API.
    12  
    13  The default registry can be accessed using a browser at
    14  [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) or using the
    15  `docker search` command.
