According to its WHOIS record, ANCHOR6.COM was created on January 11, 2011 and expires on January 11, 2017. That is around 15 years of continuous registration. It is registered through GoDaddy.com LLC (IANA ID 146) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer, deletion and updates. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns1.anchorsix.com and ns2.anchorsix.com. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. 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. 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.
In the period from March 1, 2014 to July 27, 2016, 32 fields of the record were modified.

For ANCHOR6.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 2 historical WHOIS snapshots. They run from March 1, 2014 to July 27, 2016. That is about 2 years of recorded history. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time.
