Registered on February 2, 2010, QIYITV.COM is paid up until February 2, 2018. That makes the domain about 16 years old. HiChina Zhicheng Technology Limited (IANA ID 420) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in China. Its nameservers are dns10.hichina.com and dns9.hichina.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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.
