affi-b.net

According to its WHOIS record, AFFI-B.NET was created on January 19, 2017 and expires on January 19, 2024. That is around 9 years of continuous registration. It is registered through GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Japan. DNS is served by ns-1935.awsdns-49.co.uk, ns-554.awsdns-05.net, ns-1497.awsdns-59.org and ns-437.awsdns-54.com, which means its DNS is run by Amazon Route 53. 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. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. 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.

In the period from August 7, 2022 to March 6, 2023, 4 fields of the record were modified. It was renewed: the expiry date went from January 19, 2023 to January 19, 2024. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For AFFI-B.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from March 6, 2023. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time.
