OPENDIRECTORYSITE.NET was registered on April 8, 2018, and is set to expire on April 8, 2019. That makes the domain about 8 years old. The domain is managed by GMO Internet Inc. (IANA ID 49) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in Japan. It uses the nameservers ns1.xserver.jp, ns2.xserver.jp, ns3.xserver.jp and ns4.xserver.jp. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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.
