INC5000.NET was registered on April 30, 2009, and is set to expire on April 30, 2020. This gives it about 17 years of history. The domain is managed by Network Solutions LLC (IANA ID 2) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is UNITED STATES. It uses the nameservers ns2.datareturn.com and ns1.datareturn.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. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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. 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. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for.
