planetcensus.com

The domain PLANETCENSUS.COM was first registered on January 20, 2008 and its current term runs until January 20, 2017. That makes the domain about 18 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is register.com Inc. (IANA ID 9), and the domain is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by dns01.gpn.register.com, dns02.gpn.register.com, dns03.gpn.register.com and dns04.gpn.register.com. 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. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
