Registered on January 26, 2012, KOUKAEN.NET is paid up until January 26, 2024. This gives it about 14 years of history. GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is Japan. Its nameservers are sv115.wadax.ne.jp and dns101.wadax.ne.jp. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes.
