CIE.MOBI was registered on October 11, 2018, and is set to expire on October 11, 2019. Its age is about 8 years. The domain is managed by HiChina Zhicheng Technology Limited (IANA ID 420) and is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer. The registrant is listed in China. It uses the nameservers dns10.hichina.com and dns9.hichina.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. 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.
