According to its WHOIS record, ARCADE-FREE-GAMES.COM was created on June 17, 2023 and expires on June 17, 2024. That is around 3 years of continuous registration. It is registered through DropCatch.com 762 LLC (IANA ID 2521) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is Singapore. DNS is served by sp1.gname-dns.com and sp2.gname-dns.com. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. 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. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.

For ARCADE-FREE-GAMES.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 10 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from June 19, 2023. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Investigators use dated records to establish who controlled a domain at a specific point in time. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
