riggsgateway.com

RIGGSGATEWAY.COM has existed since November 18, 2004, with the present registration ending on December 31, 2017. That makes the domain about 21 years old. The registration is held with Name.com Inc. (IANA ID 625); its status is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. It uses the nameservers ns1.isc, ns2.isc and ns3.isc. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
