According to its WHOIS record, SWIMNEWS.COM was created on August 7, 1995 and expires on August 6, 2018. That makes the domain about 31 years old. It is registered through Tucows Domains Inc. (IANA ID 69) and is past its expiry date. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer and updates. The registrant is listed in Canada. DNS is served by ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today.
