The domain PREPTREE.ORG was first registered on November 1, 2012 and its current term runs until November 1, 2018. That makes the domain about 14 years old. Its sponsoring registrar is GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146), and the domain is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns-1173.awsdns-18.org, ns-1568.awsdns-04.co.uk, ns-368.awsdns-46.com and ns-975.awsdns-57.net, hosted with Amazon Route 53. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
