ar996.com

According to its WHOIS record, AR996.COM was created on July 22, 2016 and expires on July 22, 2017. That is around 10 years of continuous registration. The domain is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. DNS is served by ns1.22.cn and ns2.22.cn. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.
