HOBYZEE.COM dates back to May 20, 2023; its registration is valid until May 20, 2024. Its age is about 3 years. GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. It carries protection against transfer. The registrant is listed in Japan. Its nameservers are jm2.dns.com and jm1.dns.com. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
