Registered on August 29, 1996, WTRF.COM is paid up until August 28, 2027. It is roughly 30 years old today. CSC Corporate Domains, Inc. (IANA ID 299) is the registrar of record, and the domain is currently active. It is registered to Nexstar Media Group in United States, according to the public record. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
