According to its WHOIS record, AWE.PICS was created on November 4, 2023 and expires on November 4, 2024. That is around 3 years of continuous registration. It is registered through Spaceship Inc. (IANA ID 3862) and is past its expiry date. Status flags block unauthorised transfer. The registrant country on record is Iceland. DNS is served by launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net. 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. 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. 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. 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 April 7, 2020 to November 4, 2023, 45 fields of the record were modified. The domain moved from eNom Inc. to Spaceship Inc.. DNS moved from dns2.name-services.com, dns4.name-services.com, dns3.name-services.com and dns1.name-services.com to launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net. Status flags were updated: clientTransferProhibited and addPeriod were added and redemptionPeriod, serverHold and serverUpdateProhibited were removed. It was renewed: the expiry date went from October 25, 2019 to November 4, 2024. The full record, including every stored snapshot, can be downloaded in JSON, XML or CSV.
For AWE.PICS, Whois Data Center keeps 8 historical WHOIS snapshots. The most recent capture is from November 4, 2023. Snapshots are collected over time, so the gaps between them depend on how often the record was checked. 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. A long history with few changes usually points to a stable owner, while frequent changes can signal a transfer or a resale. 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. Comparing snapshots makes it easy to see when the registrar, nameservers or status of a domain changed.
