According to its WHOIS record, ABN-AD.ORG was created on October 19, 2004 and expires on October 19, 2018. That is around 22 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Key-Systems GmbH (IANA ID 269) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Ukraine. DNS is served by ns1.nameua.net, ns2.nameua.net and ns3.nameua.net. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.

In the period from October 21, 2016 to December 5, 2017, 4 fields of the record were modified. Status flags were updated: autoRenewPeriod was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 19, 2017 to October 19, 2018. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ABN-AD.ORG, Whois Data Center keeps 6 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from December 5, 2017. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
