TRADEOPENINGGAPS.COM dates back to March 10, 2009; its registration is valid until March 10, 2015. That makes the domain about 17 years old. GODADDY.COM; LLC (IANA ID 146) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Its record is locked against unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant is listed in UNITED STATES. Its nameservers are ns17.domaincontrol.com and ns18.domaincontrol.com, hosted with GoDaddy. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
