According to its WHOIS record, ABOUTTORETIRE.NET was created on January 15, 2012 and expires on January 15, 2022. That is around 14 years of continuous registration. It is registered through 123-Reg Limited (IANA ID 1515) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is UNITED KINGDOM. DNS is served by ns3.aventurehost.com, ns2.aventurehost.com and ns1.aventurehost.com. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks.
In the period from October 13, 2016 to April 3, 2020, 34 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Webfusion Ltd. to 123-Reg Limited. The same nameservers stayed in place, only their order changed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from January 15, 2018 to January 15, 2022. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For ABOUTTORETIRE.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 5 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from April 3, 2020. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
