According to its WHOIS record, MSSQL.XIN was created on October 20, 2015 and expires on October 20, 2016. This gives it about 11 years of history. It is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. DNS is served by 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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.
