According to its WHOIS record, SHOPVPS.ORG was created on May 11, 2014 and expires on May 11, 2017. That makes the domain about 12 years old. It is registered through Realtime Register B.V. (IANA ID 839) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by ns3.shopvps.org and ns4.shopvps.org, which means it runs its own DNS. 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. 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.
