According to its WHOIS record, AIGNAL.COM was created on March 1, 2018 and expires on March 1, 2023. That is around 8 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (IANA ID 420) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is China. DNS is served by dns18.hichina.com and dns17.hichina.com. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. 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. 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.
In the period from March 29, 2018 to July 25, 2022, 36 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from HiChina Zhicheng Technology Limited to Alibaba Cloud Computing (Beijing) Co. Ltd.. The same nameservers stayed in place, only their order changed. Status flags were updated: ok was added and serverhold was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from March 1, 2019 to March 1, 2023. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AIGNAL.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from July 25, 2022. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. 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. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time.
