TECHTOOLSFORACTIVISM.COM dates back to January 22, 2012; its registration is valid until January 22, 2016. That makes the domain about 14 years old. Gandi SAS (IANA ID 81) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer. The registrant is listed in United Kingdom. Its nameservers are a.dns.gandi.net, b.dns.gandi.net and c.dns.gandi.net. 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. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
