According to its WHOIS record, ABOUTCITIES.NET was created on June 30, 2000 and expires on June 30, 2027. That is around 26 years of continuous registration. It is registered through ENOM, INC. (IANA ID 48) and is active. The registrant country on record is United States. 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. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations.
In the period from July 17, 2022 to November 3, 2026, 34 fields of the record were modified. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("ENOM INC." to "ENOM, INC."); it is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2027. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For ABOUTCITIES.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 10 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from November 3, 2026. 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.
