ZHIFAYUN.NET dates back to January 21, 2016; its registration is valid until January 21, 2023. It is roughly 10 years old today. Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (IANA ID 420) manages the name, which is past its expiry date at the moment. Its nameservers are expirens4.hichina.com and expirens3.hichina.com. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.
