According to its WHOIS record, SOFTWAREDEVELOPERCARDIFF.CO.UK was created on January 9, 2014 and expires on January 9, 2018. That makes the domain about 12 years old. It is registered through The Registry at Info Avenue LLC d/b/a Spirit Communications (IANA ID 123) and is past its expiry date. The registrant is listed in United Kingdom. DNS is served by ns.123-reg.co.uk and ns2.123-reg.co.uk. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.
