Registered on June 19, 2023, KESTRELSEARCH.COM is paid up until June 19, 2024. This gives it about 3 years of history. Squarespace Domains LLC (IANA ID 3827) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is New Zealand. Its nameservers are ns01.squarespacedns.com, dns2.p01.nsone.net, dns4.p01.nsone.net and ns02.squarespacedns.com, which means its DNS is run by NS1. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
