According to its WHOIS record, APPLE-ICLOUD-SERVICE.COM was created on May 10, 2018 and expires on May 10, 2019. That is around 8 years of continuous registration. It is registered through GMO Internet Inc. (IANA ID 49) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Japan. DNS is served by domainexp01.onamae.jp and domainexp02.onamae.jp. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
In the period from May 11, 2018 to June 11, 2019, 32 fields of the record were modified.
