According to its WHOIS record, AOC.ASIA was created on March 21, 2020 and expires on March 21, 2027. That is around 6 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina (www.net.cn) (IANA ID 1599) and is active. The registrant country on record is China. 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. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details.
In the period from November 20, 2022 to March 22, 2026, 12 fields of the record were modified. Status flags were updated: ok was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from March 21, 2023 to March 21, 2027. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AOC.ASIA, Whois Data Center keeps 10 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from March 22, 2026. 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. 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.
