According to its WHOIS record, SMLM.SPACE was created on December 18, 2021 and expires on December 18, 2022. That makes the domain about 4 years old. It is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in China. DNS is served by expirens3.hichina.com and expirens4.hichina.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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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.
