Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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.
