The domain DRAGONRANCH.COM was first registered on August 9, 2009 and its current term runs until August 9, 2025. Its age is about 17 years. Its sponsoring registrar is NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC. (IANA ID 2), and the domain is past its expiry date. It carries protection against transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns1.dne.com and ns2.dne.com. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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.
