According to its WHOIS record, ADVISORSCHOICE.ORG was created on October 14, 2014 and expires on October 14, 2022. That is around 12 years of continuous registration. It is registered through FastDomain Inc. (IANA ID 1154) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name.

In the period from February 16, 2018 to July 17, 2022, 33 fields of the record were modified. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 14, 2018 to October 14, 2022. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ADVISORSCHOICE.ORG, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from July 17, 2022. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. 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.
