According to its WHOIS record, ALU-GUARD.COM was created on February 5, 2003 and expires on February 5, 2018. That is around 23 years of continuous registration. It is registered through RegistryGate GmbH (IANA ID 1328) and is past its expiry date. The registrant country on record is Germany. DNS is served by ns1.teresto.net, ns2.teresto.net and ns3.teresto.net. 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. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details.
In the period from July 26, 2016 to September 27, 2017, 10 fields of the record were modified. It was renewed: the expiry date went from February 5, 2017 to February 5, 2018. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For ALU-GUARD.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 5 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from September 27, 2017. 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. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first.
