Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are dns10.hichina.com and dns9.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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
