According to its WHOIS record, SCAN.LIVE was created on December 31, 2015 and expires on December 31, 2023. That makes the domain about 10 years old. It is registered through Xiamen ChinaSource Internet Service Co. Ltd (IANA ID 1366) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in China. DNS is served by ns7.cnolnic.net and ns8.cnolnic.net. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.
