Registered on January 2, 2014, WHOISPLAY.NET is paid up until January 2, 2019. It is roughly 12 years old today. GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently past its expiry date. Locks are in place against transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is China. Its nameservers are pdns03.domaincontrol.com and pdns04.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry.
