pelicanink.net

The domain PELICANINK.NET was first registered on November 18, 2022 and its current term runs until November 18, 2023. That makes the domain about 3 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49), and the domain is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in Japan. DNS is served by milan.ns.cloudflare.com and wally.ns.cloudflare.com, hosted with Cloudflare. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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.
