Registered on November 29, 2016, KAORUTSUKI.ORG is paid up until November 29, 2018. This gives it about 9 years of history. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer and deletion are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are ns47.domaincontrol.com and ns48.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.
