According to its WHOIS record, MEIJISHOTEN.COM was created on December 4, 2007 and expires on December 4, 2027. This gives it about 18 years of history. It is registered through Japan Registry Services Co.,Ltd.(JPRS) (IANA ID 1485) and is active. The registrant country on record is Japan. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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. 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.
In the period from August 11, 2025 to November 3, 2026, 17 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Japan Registry Services Co.; Ltd. to Japan Registry Services Co.,Ltd.(JPRS). Status flags were updated: active was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from December 4, 2025 to December 4, 2027.
