NOVIHOST5.NET dates back to January 1, 2009; its registration is valid until January 1, 2017. This gives it about 17 years of history. OVH sas (IANA ID 433) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Unauthorised transfer and deletion are prevented by its status flags. The registrant country on record is Algeria. Its nameservers are ns.novihost.net and srv1.novihost.net. 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. 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. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. 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.
