IIJ01-EXAMPLE.COM was registered on January 7, 2016, and is set to expire on January 7, 2022. This gives it about 10 years of history. The domain is managed by Japan Registry Services Co. Ltd. (IANA ID 1485) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Japan. It uses the nameservers dns-b.iij.ad.jp and dns-c.iij.ad.jp. 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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
