According to its WHOIS record, MUSICROYALTIES.COM was created on December 23, 1999 and expires on January 31, 2019. This gives it about 26 years of history. It is registered through Wild West Domains LLC (IANA ID 440) and is past its expiry date. Unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns1.mb1.com and ns2.mb1.com. 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. 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. 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. 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.
