According to its WHOIS record, ARANEO.ORG.UK was created on April 11, 2026 and expires on April 11, 2027. It is registered through Namecheap; Inc. t/a Spaceship [Tag = SPACESHIP] and is active. DNS is served by launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. 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. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. 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. 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.
In the period from January 7, 2025 to April 19, 2026, 9 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from Ionos SE [Tag = 1AND1] to Namecheap; Inc. t/a Spaceship [Tag = SPACESHIP].

For ARANEO.ORG.UK, Whois Data Center keeps 16 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from April 19, 2026. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. 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. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
