The domain DOUGLASBROWN.NET was first registered on December 8, 2004 and its current term runs until December 8, 2026. Its age is about 21 years. Its sponsoring registrar is ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48), and the domain is active. It expires in 24 days and must be renewed soon to avoid losing it. The registrant is listed in United Kingdom. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. 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.
