tip.ink

TIP.INK dates back to January 14, 2022; its registration is valid until January 14, 2026. That makes the domain about 4 years old. Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant is listed in China. Its nameservers are dns31.hichina.com and dns32.hichina.com. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
