'Sponsors' probably refers to advertisers who pay to put their content on a website, and the 'No sponsors' message probably means that the domain is controlled by an advertising broker that offers advertisers domains (e.g. something.co.uk) on which, for a fee, they can advertise. In this case there is no advertiser willing to pay the fee and put their adverts on the site.

This can happen when the owner of a site fails to renew it and the domain is registered by the broker, which monitors expiries. They usually offer to transfer the domain back to the original owner - at a price. If enough people visit the domain the advertiser will make some money - until visitors dry up and no advertiser will sponsor it. The broker will probably then let it expire after a while.

A domain owner may sell a domain to a broker when they no longer want it or are not willing to pay for it.
