According to its WHOIS record, MINIWOK.COM was created on February 15, 2007 and expires on February 15, 2018. This gives it about 19 years of history. It is registered through Webfusion Ltd. (IANA ID 1515) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United Kingdom. DNS is served by ns1.123 and ns2.123. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.
