According to its WHOIS record, STARTRIBUNESTORE.COM was created on August 21, 2006 and expires on August 21, 2023. That makes the domain about 20 years old. It is registered through NAMECHEAP INC (IANA ID 1068) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in Iceland. DNS is served by ns-1644.awsdns-13.co.uk, ns-1419.awsdns-49.org, ns-686.awsdns-21.net and ns-94.awsdns-11.com, which means its DNS is run by Amazon Route 53. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. 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.
