The registrant is listed in China. DNS is served by ns1.dns.com.cn and ns2.dns.com.cn. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
