IOTJOURNAL.ORG was registered on July 28, 2016, and is set to expire on July 28, 2018. This gives it about 10 years of history. The domain is managed by GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United States. It uses the nameservers pdns11.domaincontrol.com and pdns12.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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.
