catgap.com

CATGAP.COM was registered on October 17, 2020, and is set to expire on October 17, 2023. Its age is about 6 years. The domain is managed by NameCheap Inc. and is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer. It uses the nameservers ns3.digitalocean.com, ns1.digitalocean.com and ns2.digitalocean.com. 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. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.
