According to its WHOIS record, AUTHORSHADOW.COM was created on November 20, 2020 and expires on November 20, 2022. That is around 5 years of continuous registration. It is registered through BigRock Solutions Ltd. (IANA ID 1495) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is India. DNS is served by dns11.parkpage.foundationapi.com and dns12.parkpage.foundationapi.com. 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. 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. A registrar transfer moves the management of a domain from one company to another without changing the domain name itself. Domains that are not renewed before their expiry date normally enter a grace and redemption period before they can be registered again. Managed DNS providers are often used for speed, security and protection against attacks. The creation date shows when the name was first registered, while the expiry date shows how long the current registration has been paid for. Registry locks add an extra layer of protection for valuable names, because changes then need manual confirmation by the registry. Public WHOIS records can show the registrant organisation and country, while many owners now hide personal details behind privacy services. When a domain uses its own nameservers, the owner runs the DNS directly instead of relying on a hosting or DNS provider. Registrars are the companies accredited to sell and manage domain names, and the sponsoring registrar is the one currently responsible for this name. Changes to the registrant organisation can point to a sale, a merger or simply an update of company details. An older registration date is often seen as a sign of an established website, although age alone says nothing about who owns it today.

In the period from December 2, 2022 to January 5, 2023, 5 fields of the record were modified. Status flags were updated: redemptionPeriod and REDEMPTIONPERIOD were added. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.

For AUTHORSHADOW.COM, Whois Data Center keeps 12 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from January 5, 2023. 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. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. Security teams use WHOIS history to spot suspicious ownership changes and to link related domains. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed. The snapshot list below shows every capture we hold, newest first. 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.
