nicwg.org

NICWG.ORG dates back to August 21, 2001; its registration is valid until August 21, 2018. This gives it about 25 years of history. Network Solutions LLC (IANA ID 2) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Unauthorised transfer are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is United States. Its nameservers are ns1.cert.org and ns2.cert.org. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
