According to its WHOIS record, ANIMECOVER.NET was created on August 12, 2014 and expires on August 12, 2015. That is around 12 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 Ukraine. DNS is served by ns51.domaincontrol.com and ns52.domaincontrol.com, which means its DNS is run by GoDaddy. 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. Renewals are usually made for one to ten years at a time, so an expiry date far in the future shows a long-term commitment to the name. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again.

For ANIMECOVER.NET, Whois Data Center keeps 4 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from August 13, 2014. 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. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
