According to its WHOIS record, AKIHA.NET was created on February 1, 2015 and expires on February 1, 2025. That is around 11 years of continuous registration. It is registered through GMO INTERNET INC. (IANA ID 49) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is Japan. DNS is served by ns4.value-domain.com, ns3.value-domain.com, ns5.value-domain.com and ns1.value-domain.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. 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.

In the period from April 3, 2020 to July 19, 2022, 11 fields of the record were modified. It was renewed: the expiry date went from February 1, 2023 to February 1, 2025. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For AKIHA.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 9 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from July 19, 2022. 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. 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. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected.
