Registered on March 21, 2002, KAIYUEN.COM is paid up until March 21, 2018. This gives it about 24 years of history. HiChina Zhicheng Technology Limited (IANA ID 420) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are dns1.hichina.com and dns2.hichina.com. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.
