According to its WHOIS record, ALEXANDER-MERKEL.COM was created on July 15, 2008 and expires on July 15, 2018. That is around 18 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Mesh Digital Limited (IANA ID 1390) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is Germany. DNS is served by ns1.hans.hosteurope.de and ns2.hans.hosteurope.de. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today.

In the period from July 2, 2016 to September 18, 2017, 3 fields of the record were modified. It was renewed: the expiry date went from July 15, 2016 to July 15, 2018. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ALEXANDER-MERKEL.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 4 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from September 18, 2017. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. 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. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
