directfilet.com

The domain DIRECTFILET.COM was first registered on October 28, 2009 and its current term runs until October 28, 2017. Its age is about 17 years. Its sponsoring registrar is OVH sas (IANA ID 433), and the domain is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer and deletion. The registrant is listed in Afghanistan. DNS is served by dns200.anycast.me and ns200.anycast.me. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services.
