TOMMYSHEPPARD.COM dates back to February 6, 2017; its registration is valid until February 6, 2018. That makes the domain about 9 years old. DropCatch.com 741 LLC (IANA ID 2221) 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 States. Its nameservers are nsg1.namebrightdns.com and nsg2.namebrightdns.com. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes.
