According to its WHOIS record, ARCHUNTERDON.ORG was created on October 26, 1997 and expires on October 27, 2027. That is around 29 years of continuous registration. It is registered through NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC. (IANA ID 2) and is active. The registrant country on record is United States. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. 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. Privacy services replace the owner's contact details in the public record with those of a proxy, which is common for personal registrations. Status flags such as transfer or delete locks are set by the registrar or registry to protect a domain from unauthorised changes. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider.

In the period from June 2, 2022 to November 2, 2026, 34 fields of the record were modified. Only the spelling of the registrar name changed ("Network Solutions, LLC" to "NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC."); it is the same registrar. Status flags were updated: OK was removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 25, 2026 to October 27, 2027. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For ARCHUNTERDON.ORG, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from November 2, 2026. 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. Buyers often review the history of a domain before purchasing it, to see past owners and registrars. Each snapshot is a dated copy of the public WHOIS record as it looked when it was collected. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. These records help track changes in registration details, ownership signals and DNS over time. Historical records are useful for due diligence, brand protection and investigating the background of a website. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked.
