CENTRALLOCKSMITH.CO.ZA was registered on November 4, 2013, and is set to expire on November 4, 2023. Its age is about 13 years. The domain is managed by Domains and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in South Africa. It uses the nameservers ns-604.awsdns-11.net, ns-234.awsdns-29.com, ns-1743.awsdns-25.co.uk and ns-1460.awsdns-54.org, which means its DNS is run by Amazon Route 53. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
