According to its WHOIS record, AFNDTE.COM was created on October 18, 2010 and expires on October 18, 2017. That is around 16 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Name.com Inc. (IANA ID 625) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns1.pdctsonline.com and ns2.pdctsonline.com. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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 24, 2016 to September 26, 2017, 4 fields of the record were modified. DNS moved from ns1.afndte.com and ns2.afndte.com to ns1.pdctsonline.com and ns2.pdctsonline.com. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 18, 2016 to October 18, 2017. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AFNDTE.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 6 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from September 26, 2017. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. 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. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. 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. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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.
