According to its WHOIS record, ANDOVER.INFO was created on September 14, 2001 and expires on September 14, 2024. That is around 25 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 and deletion. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by ns4.andoverma.us, ns3.andoverma.us, ns1.andoverma.us and ns2.andoverma.us. 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. 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. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself.

In the period from August 6, 2022 to September 30, 2022, 4 fields of the record were modified. Status flags were updated: autoRenewPeriod was added and clientUpdateProhibited was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from September 14, 2022 to September 14, 2024. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ANDOVER.INFO, Whois Data Center keeps 10 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from September 30, 2022. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. 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. 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. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website.
