planetout.com

The domain PLANETOUT.COM was first registered on August 2, 1995 and its current term runs until August 1, 2026. That makes the domain about 31 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is Network Solutions; LLC (IANA ID 2), and the domain is past its expiry date. DNS is served by ns85.worldnic.com and ns86.worldnic.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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.
