According to its WHOIS record, ADAFANS.ORG was created on July 7, 2018 and expires on July 7, 2022. That is around 8 years of continuous registration. It is registered through ALIBABA.COM SINGAPORE E-COMMERCE PRIVATE LIMITED (IANA ID 3775) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. DNS is served by expirens4.hichina.com and expirens3.hichina.com. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS 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.

In the period from July 20, 2022 to August 16, 2022, 3 fields of the record were modified. Status flags were updated: redemptionPeriod was added and autoRenewPeriod was removed. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ADAFANS.ORG, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from August 16, 2022. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.
