Registered on April 28, 2017, QSXQF.COM is paid up until April 28, 2018. That makes the domain about 9 years old. PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com (IANA ID 303) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in China. Its nameservers are ns1.reg.cn and ns2.reg.cn. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
