According to its WHOIS record, MODELSAFRICA.NET was created on November 18, 2019 and expires on November 18, 2020. This gives it about 6 years of history. It is registered through UpperLink Limited (IANA ID 1749) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is NIGERIA. DNS is served by ns2.uplserver9.com and ns1.uplserver9.com. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
