According to its WHOIS record, APOLEOPEN.COM was created on May 29, 2015 and expires on May 29, 2016. That is around 11 years of continuous registration. It is registered through register.com Inc. (IANA ID 9) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is United States. DNS is served by dns1.register.com and dns2.register.com. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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.

For APOLEOPEN.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 4 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from May 30, 2015. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. 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. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains.
