TODAYDARK.COM dates back to August 18, 2023; its registration is valid until August 18, 2024. That makes the domain about 3 years old. gabia (IANA ID 244) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. The registrant is listed in South Korea. Its nameservers are dns1.cafe24.com, dns2.cafe24.com, dns1.cafe24.co.kr and dns2.cafe24.co.kr. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. 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.
