According to its WHOIS record, A-R-G.NET was created on January 24, 2009 and expires on January 24, 2024. That is around 17 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Naugus Limited LLC (IANA ID 899) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer and deletion. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by b.exam-ple.com and a.exam-ple.com. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
In the period from April 6, 2020 to March 11, 2023, 7 fields of the record were modified. The same nameservers stayed in place, only their order changed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from January 24, 2019 to January 24, 2024. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For A-R-G.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 7 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from March 11, 2023. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
