According to its WHOIS record, SMASHGOLD.COM was created on March 30, 2018 and expires on March 30, 2023. That makes the domain about 8 years old. It is registered through TurnCommerce Inc. DBA NameBright.com and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United States. DNS is served by nsg2.namebrightdns.com and nsg1.namebrightdns.com. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.
