According to its WHOIS record, AFRY.SHOP was created on July 6, 2024 and expires on July 6, 2025. That is around 2 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Spaceship, Inc. (IANA ID 3862) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Iceland. 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. 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. 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. 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.
In the period from March 22, 2023 to July 6, 2024, 11 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Namecheap Inc. to Spaceship, Inc.. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited and addPeriod were removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from March 21, 2024 to July 6, 2025. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AFRY.SHOP, Whois Data Center keeps 9 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from July 6, 2024. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
