According to its WHOIS record, STERNEKOCH.COM was created on October 20, 2006 and expires on October 20, 2023. That makes the domain about 20 years old. It is registered through Key-Systems GmbH (IANA ID 269) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in Germany. DNS is served by ns2.namesecure.de and ns1.namesecure.de. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
