According to its WHOIS record, A4UINDIAHOLIDAYS.COM was created on November 8, 2012 and expires on November 8, 2022. That is around 14 years of continuous registration. It is registered through GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns2.gname-dns.com and ns1.gname-dns.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Nameservers decide where a domain's DNS is hosted, so a change of nameservers usually means the website or email moved to a new provider. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.
