According to its WHOIS record, AABUFF.COM was created on July 31, 2018 and expires on July 31, 2019. That is around 8 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Xin Net Technology Corporation (IANA ID 120) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is China. DNS is served by ns1.bdydns.cn and ns2.bdydns.cn. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.
In the period from April 3, 2014 to August 1, 2018, 44 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from GODADDY.COM; LLC to Xin Net Technology Corporation.
