Registered on October 30, 2013, KESTRELGAMES.COM is paid up until October 30, 2027. This gives it about 13 years of history. TUCOWS.COM, CO. (IANA ID 69) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently active. The registrant country on record is United Kingdom. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
